hash0(
char key,
int modulus);
Return an unsigned integer hash value in the range from zero to one less than the specified modulus corresponding to the specified key. The behavior is undefined unless 0 < modulus < 2^31. Note that modulus is expected to be a prime not close to an integral power of 2. Also note that specifying a modulus of 1 will cause 0 to be returned for every value.
