checksum code in c#

Jul 28 2014 6:58 PM
I need to rewrite the code below in c#.
I think the code is written in c but I only understand a few lines.
Can some help me explain the code?
 
 byte crc8(byte *str, int len)
{
int i, f;
byte data;
byte crc;
crc = 0 ;
while (len--)
{
data = *str++;
for = (i = 0; i < 8; i++)
   {
      f = 1 & (data ^ crc);
      crc >>= 1;
      data >>= 1 ;
         if (f)    {
                     crc ^= 0x8c;
                  }
   }
}
return crc;
}
