Simple hash algorithm

Hi guys,

I'm trying to create a hash algorithm (a very simple one) for homework exercise.

I basically have taken an input from the user and hash it using:

a = 1, b =2, c = 3 ... z = 26.

So if the user input is abc, it will store 123.

My functions for creating a username and password so far:

// registering an account
void regAccount(){    cout << "Please enter your username: ";    cin >> inputUsername; cout << endl;    if (inputUsername == username || inputUsername == username || inputUsername == username || inputUsername == username || inputUsername == username ||        inputUsername == username || inputUsername == username || inputUsername == username || inputUsername == username || inputUsername == username)    {        cout << "Username already exists" << endl;    }    else    {        for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)        {            if (username == "Empty")            {                username = inputUsername;                hashPass();                cout << "Is this account an admin?    -    1 = yes / 2 = no: ";                cin >> input;                if (input == 1)                {                    admin = true;                }                else                {                    admin = false;                }                break;            }        }    }    }// hash the passwordvoid hashPass(){    cout << "Please enter your password: ";    cin >> password; cout << endl;    for (int j = 0; j < password.length(); j++)    {        // possibly a switch statement checking if password == a, b, c...    } }

Thanks for having a look.
