/**
 * Creates a numeric hash code (integer) between 1 and the specified `limit`.
 * The sum of all the string char codes is the dividend and the limit is the divisor, but the _remainder_ (integer) will be the actual hash code.

 * @function
 * @name toHashCode
 * @param {string|number} val A string or numeric value for which to generate the hash code
 * @param {number} [limit=26] The limit of the range of hash code values (this will be the divisor in the modulus division)
 * @returns {number} A numeric representation of the characters in the provided string (will return zero if a string|number is not provided as input)
