Vector Class hashCode() method

• hashCode() method is available in java.util package.
• hashCode() method is used to retrieve hashcode value for this Vector.
• hashCode() method is a non-static method, it is accessible with the class object only and if we try to access the method with the class name then we will get an error.
• hashCode() method does not throw an exception at the time of returning hash code.

Syntax:

    public int hashCode();

Parameter(s):

• It does not accept any parameter.

Return value:

The return type of the method is int, it gets hashcode value for this Vector.

Example:

// Java program to demonstrate the example 
// of int hashCode() method of Vector 

import java.util.*;

public class HashCodeOfVector {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Instantiates a Vector object  with
        // initial capacity of "10"
        Vector < String > v = new Vector < String > (10);

        // By using add() method is to add the
        // elements in this v
        v.add("C");
        v.add("C++");
        v.add("JAVA");

        // Display Vector
        System.out.println("v: " + v);

        // By using hashCode() method is to
        // return the hash code value of
        // this vector v
        int hc = v.hashCode();

        // Display hash code
        System.out.println("v.hashCode(): " + hc);
    }
}

Output

v: [C, C++, JAVA]
v.hashCode(): 4402561
