Can someone explain the normalize function for this hash table, and please provide comments for each line of code: void normalize(string & s) {     string t = "";     for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {         if (s[i] <= 'Z' && s[i] >= 'A')             s[i] += ('a' - 'A');         if (s[i] <= 'z' && s[i] >= 'a')             t+= s[i];     }     s = t; }

Can someone explain the normalize function for this hash table, and please provide comments for each line of code:

void normalize(string & s) {
    string t = "";
    for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
        if (s[i] <= 'Z' && s[i] >= 'A')
            s[i] += ('a' - 'A');
        if (s[i] <= 'z' && s[i] >= 'a')
            t+= s[i];
    }
    s = t;
}

unsigned int hashStr(const string &  s, int size) {
    unsigned int h = s[0];
    for (int i = 1; i < s.length(); i++)
        //h = (h*i)+s[i];    //My hash
        h+=s[i]*26*i;
        //h+=s[i];
    return h % size ;
}

int main(){
    string word;
    string originalWord;
    int startTableSize;
    int endTableSize;
    int hashResult;
    do{
        cout << "Enter the table starting size\n! to quit" << endl;
        cin >> startTableSize;
        cout << "Enter the table end size\n! to quit" << endl;
        cin >> endTableSize;
        cout << "Enter a word to hash\n! to quit" << endl;
        cin >> word;

        originalWord = word;
        cout << "Before normalize: " << word << endl;
        normalize(word);
        cout << "After normalize: " << word << endl << endl;

        for(int i = startTableSize; i <= endTableSize; i++){
            hashResult = hashStr(word, i);
        cout << "Size " << i << " " << hashResult << endl;
        }
        cout << endl;

    }while(originalWord!="!");
        cout << "bye" << endl;
    return 0;
}
