IdentityHashMap Class hashCode() method

• hashCode() method is available in java.util package.
• hashCode() method is used to return the hash code value for this IdentityHashMap.
• 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 hash code value of this IdentityHashMap.

Example:

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

import java.util.*;

public class HashCodeOfIdentityHashMap {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Instantiates a IdentityHashMap object
        Map < Integer, String > map = new IdentityHashMap < Integer, String > ();

        // By using put() method is to add
        // key-value pairs in a IdentityHashMap
        map.put(10, "C");
        map.put(20, "C++");
        map.put(50, "JAVA");
        map.put(40, "PHP");
        map.put(30, "SFDC");

        // Display IdentityHashMap
        System.out.println("IdentityHashMap: " + map);

        // By using hashCode() method is to return
        // the hashcode value of this IdentityHashMap

        int hc = map.hashCode();

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

Output

IdentityHashMap: {20=C++, 40=PHP, 50=JAVA, 30=SFDC, 10=C}
map.hashCode(): -693690910
