Mathias Bynens 8ee50178f3 Avoid confusing prototype methods for static methods
Correct: `Array.from()` (it’s a static method)
Incorrect: `Array.join()` (doesn’t exist; it’s a prototype method)

This patch uses the common `#` syntax to denote `.prototype.`.

### sdbm
Hashes the input string into a whole number.
Use `String.prototype.split('')` and `Array.prototype.reduce()` to create a hash of the input string, utilizing bit shifting.
```js
const sdbm = str => {
let arr = str.split('');
return arr.reduce(
(hashCode, currentVal) =>
(hashCode = currentVal.charCodeAt(0) + (hashCode << 6) + (hashCode << 16) - hashCode),
0
);
};
```
```js
sdbm('name'); // -3521204949
```
