Hash Function

Description: Calculates the hash value of a given expression. expression: The value can be a character string, time, or number. The hash value is calculated based on the expression. seed: an int8 value that can return different results for the same input value. This parameter is optional and is used to calculate the hash value with a random number.

Return type: hash value of the int8 type.
