The java.math.BigInteger.hashCode() method returns the hash code for this BigInteger. The hashcode is always the same if the object doesn’t change.
Hashcode is a unique code generated by the JVM at the time of object creation. We can use hashcode to perform some operation on hashing related algorithms like hashtable, hashmap etc. We can search an object with that unique code.
Syntax:
public int hashCode()
Returns: The method returns an integer value which represents hashCode value for this BigInteger.
Examples:
Input: BigInteger1=32145 Output: 32145 Explanation: BigInteger1.hashCode()=32145. Input: BigInteger1=7613721467324 Output: -1255493552 Explanation: BigInteger1.hashCode()=-1255493552.
Example 1: Below programs illustrate hashCode() method of BigInteger class
// Java program to demonstrate // hashCode() method of BigInteger import java.math.BigInteger; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Creating 2 BigInteger objects BigInteger b1, b2; b1 = new BigInteger("32145"); b2 = new BigInteger("7613721467324"); // apply hashCode() method int hashCodeOfb1 = b1.hashCode(); int hashCodeOfb2 = b2.hashCode(); // print hashCode System.out.println("hashCode of " + b1 + " : " + hashCodeOfb1); System.out.println("hashCode of " + b2 + " : " + hashCodeOfb2); }} |
Output:
hashCode of 32145 : 32145 hashCode of 7613721467324 : -1255493552
Example 2: When both bigInteger has same value
// Java program to demonstrate // hashCode() method of BigInteger import java.math.BigInteger; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Creating 2 BigInteger objects BigInteger b1, b2; b1 = new BigInteger("4326516236135"); b2 = new BigInteger("4326516236135"); // apply hashCode() method int hashCodeOfb1 = b1.hashCode(); int hashCodeOfb2 = b2.hashCode(); // print hashCode System.out.println("hashCode of " + b1 + " : " + hashCodeOfb1); System.out.println("hashCode of " + b2 + " : " + hashCodeOfb2); }} |
Output:
hashCode of 4326516236135 : 1484200280 hashCode of 4326516236135 : 1484200280
