Question: Explain the avalanche effect.

Avalanche effect is a property of cryptographic hashing algorithm. If small change(assume 1 bit changes) in the input value leads to a significant change(half of the output bits flip) in the output(hash value) we called it as avalanche effect of cryptography.

That way people can ensure that a person cannot predict the output massage by looking at the changes of the output hash. So this property brings more security for the massage sender as well as the receiver.
