## Description

<section id='description'>
<b>SHA-1</b> or <b>SHA1</b> is a one-way hash function; it computes a 160-bit message digest.
SHA-1 often appears in security protocols; for example, many HTTPS websites use RSA with SHA-1 to secure their connections.
BitTorrent uses SHA-1 to verify downloads.
Git and Mercurial use SHA-1 digests to identify commits.
A US government standard, <a href="https://rosettacode.org/wiki/SHA-1/FIPS-180-1" target="_blank">FIPS 180-1</a>, defines SHA-1.
</section>

## Instructions

<section id='instructions'>
Write a function that returns the SHA-1 message digest for a given string.
</section>

## Tests

<section id='tests'>

```yml
tests:
  - text: <code>SHA1</code> should be a function.
    testString: assert(typeof SHA1 === 'function');
  - text: <code>SHA1("abc")</code> should return a string.
    testString: assert(typeof SHA1("abc") === 'string');
  - text: <code>SHA1("abc")</code> should return <code>"a9993e364706816aba3e25717850c26c9cd0d89d"</code>.
    testString: assert.equal(SHA1("abc"), "a9993e364706816aba3e25717850c26c9cd0d89d");
  - text: <code>SHA1("Rosetta Code")</code> should return <code>"48c98f7e5a6e736d790ab740dfc3f51a61abe2b5"</code>.
    testString: assert.equal(SHA1("Rosetta Code"), "48c98f7e5a6e736d790ab740dfc3f51a61abe2b5");
  - text: <code>SHA1("Hello world")</code> should return <code>"7b502c3a1f48c8609ae212cdfb639dee39673f5e"</code>.
    testString: assert.equal(SHA1("Hello world"), "7b502c3a1f48c8609ae212cdfb639dee39673f5e");
  - text: <code>SHA1("Programming")</code> should return <code>"d1a946bf8b2f2a7292c250063ee28989d742cd4b"</code>.
    testString: assert.equal(SHA1("Programming"), "d1a946bf8b2f2a7292c250063ee28989d742cd4b");
  - text: <code>SHA1("is Awesome")</code> should return <code>"6537205da59c72b57ed3881843c2d24103d683a3"</code>.
    testString: assert.equal(SHA1("is Awesome"), "6537205da59c72b57ed3881843c2d24103d683a3");
