That shortens the int to 4 digits.

A hash isn't guaranteed to be unique. A hash is an attempt to make an
int which is highly sensitive to a change in the data so that a small
change in the data will result in a different int. If the change is big
enough it _could_ give the same int, but the hope is that it probably
won't. (Ideally, if the hash has 4 decimal digits, you'd hope that the
chance of different data giving the same hash would be about 1 in
10000.)
