Hash Calculator

This module provides a simple hash calculator that supports SHA-256 and SHA3-256 algorithms.

Usage

1. Run the hash_calculator.py module directly to calculate the hash for a given string.

   python hash_calculator.py

2. Use the calculate_hash function in your Python code.

   from py_scripts.hash_calculator import calculate_hash
   
   input_string = "Hello World"
   algorithm_flag = 1  # 1 for SHA-256, 2 for SHA3-256
   result = calculate_hash(input_string, algorithm_flag)
   print(f"Hash result: {result}")

Mock for C Integration

This script can serve as a simple mock for using the calculate_hash function directly in C code. You can integrate the hash calculation functionality into your C program by calling the Python function using appropriate bindings or interfacing techniques.

Testing

To run the tests, execute the following command from the project root:

python -m unittest py_scripts.test.hash_calculator_test
