Defined in header <string>
template<> struct hash<std::string>; template<> struct hash<std::wstring>; template<> struct hash<std::u16string>; template<> struct hash<std::u32string>;		(since C++11)

The template specializations of std::hash for the various string classes allow users to obtain hashes of strings.

Example

The following code shows one possible output of a hash function used on a string:

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <functional>
 
int main()
{
    std::string s = "Stand back! I've got jimmies!";
    std::hash<std::string> hash_fn;
 
    size_t hash = hash_fn(s);
 
    std::cout << hash << '\n';
}

Output:

325378910
