Angle bracket madness!

You do realize that for function calls like sum() and join() you don't have to put the comprehension in a separate set of brackets? So:

def hash(N,s) : return sum([x for x in s.encode('utf-8')])%N

becomes:

def hash(N,s) : return sum(x for x in s.encode('utf-8'))%N

I'd imagine that the bare comprehension (which I assume is a generator) is faster because the list constructor is not called. Just sayin'. —JohnC5 23:57, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

@JohnC5: Thank you! You just turned my periphrastic hylomorphism into a catamorphism! [FYI: I did not know.] Isomorphyc (talk) 17:55, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
