Overview of this book

Step-by-step recipes filled with practical code samples and engaging examples demonstrate Haskell in practice, and then the concepts behind the code. This book shows functional developers and analysts how to leverage their existing knowledge of Haskell specifically for high-quality data analysis. A good understanding of data sets and functional programming is assumed.

Introduction


A hash is a lossy way of representing an object into a small and typically fixed-length value. Hashing data embellishes us with speedy lookups and lightweight handling of massive datasets.

The output of a hashing function is referred to as a digest. One of the principal properties of a good hashing function is that it must be deterministic, which means a given input must always produce the same corresponding output. Sometimes, two different inputs may end up producing the same output, and we call that a collision. Given a hash alone, we cannot invert the process to rediscover the object within an adequate time. To minimize the chances of a collision, another property of a hash function called uniformity is used. In other words, the probability of each output occurring should be nearly the same.

We will start by first producing a simple digest from an input. Then in the next recipe, we will run the hashing algorithm on our custom-made data type.
