CRCofData

Declaration:TVector.CRCofData (var CRC: string);
The method CRCofData calculates a 256-bit CRC code over all cells of the vector. This CRC code is returned as a hexadecimal string of 64 characters in the variable parameter CRC.

Hint: Please note that the CRC code cannot be unique but there is only an extremely small chance to get a hash code collision. Thus the CRC code can be used to check whether two vectors are different (if the CRCs differ the vectors must be different), however there is a very small chance that the CRCs of different vectors are equal.
