There are 3 kind of hashing algorithm
Four if you count the trails followed by runners drinking beer. See on-on for instance.
The first one is used to check the sanity of input, against bit-swapping error for instanceSee CRC for instance The second one is used for cryptographic purposesWhile the output distribution is supposed to be quite good, its most important aspect lies here: it is hard to craft an input matching a specific hashSee sha256 for instanceThe last one combines both speed and output distributionSee xxhash for instance
