You mean a typical python hash value which would be /likely/ to differ for
different lists and /guaranteed/ to be equal for equal lists is not good
enough? Because that would be easy:
args = sys.argv[1:]
hash(tuple(sorted(args))) # consider duplicate args
I knew a hash can replace a bi-directional linked list.
The value can be a multi-field string to be parsed for further actions.
Is this what you are asking?
A hash is a number, so I don't see how it can replace any kind of linked
list. Perhaps you're thinking of some other language.
