A logic gate is a building block of a digital circuit. A hash is a dictionarylike collection of unique keys and their values. Suitable chosen hash functions can avoid conflicts in each of these situations by mapping the most frequently occurring patterns conflictfree. If you have some message, it is easy to go forward to the corresponding hashed value. So bad will hash combine the same as dab xor maps pairwise identical values to zero, and you should avoid mapping common values to zero so a,a gets mapped to 0, and b,b also gets mapped to 0.
