Returns Keccak-256 (not the standardized SHA3-256) of the given data.
Returns Keccak-256 (not the standardized SHA3-256) of the given data.
Note:
web3_sha3
takes in a hexadecimal number, not a direct string. So, if you wanted to convert "hello world" to its Keccak-256 hash you would need to input the hex number for "hello world", which is"0x68656c6c6f20776f726c64"
.
