Sorry -- I haven't been following this thread closely, so I apologize if this question was already answered: Did you implement your own hash tables, or are you using Racket's built-in hashes? Because if you're using the built-in ones, there's no reason to do this. You just use your object (a bignum, a byte string, or anything else) as the key. (The hash code is generated by `equal-hash-code`, but you don't have to call it yourself. The hash implementation does that.) However, if you have implemented your own, you can still call `equal-hash-code` on your byte string. That will give you an exact integer, and you can then call modulo (or remainder) on that. -Jon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
