+ *
+ * An implementation of string hashing algorithm using double hashing.
+ * This implementation computes hash values for substrings of a given string, which can be
+ * used for efficient substring comparisons or detecting duplicate substrings.
+ * 
+ * This implementation uses two hash functions with distinct large prime moduli to reduce
+ * the probability of collisions. It also precomputes modular inverses to efficiently
+ * handle division operations in modular arithmetic.
