Hashing is a part of encryption, maybe you are the one who needs to shore up on the topic?

Nice try. However, hashing and encryption are two different operations.

Load this page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard

Ctrl-F "hash". No mention of it.

Before being pedantic at least check out the url in that comment to get the basics going.

A good hash function is surjective. Encryption is bijective. They're very different things.
