Chars.hashCode() is a method of Chars Class in Guava Library which is used to return a hash code for a char value. The hashCode is an unique integer value that is calculated by the compiler for an object. It remain the same if the object value does not changes.
Syntax:
public static int hashCode(char value)
Parameter: This method takes a mandatory parameter value which is a char value for which the hashCode is to be found.
Return Value: This method returns an integer value which is the hash code for the specified value.
Below programs illustrate the use of the above method:
Example 1:
// Java code to show implementation of// Guava's Chars.hashCode() method  import com.google.common.primitives.Chars;import java.util.Arrays;  class GFG {      // Driver's code    public static void main(String[] args)    {        // Using Chars.hashCode() method to        // get the hash code for value        System.out.println("HashCode value of y: "                           + Chars.hashCode('y'));    }} |
Output:
HashCode value of y: 121
Example 2:
// Java code to show implementation of// Guava's Chars.hashCode() method  import com.google.common.primitives.Chars;import java.util.Arrays;  class GFG {      // Driver's code    public static void main(String[] args)    {        // Using Chars.hashCode() method to        // get the hash code for value        System.out.println("HashCode value of J: "                           + Chars.hashCode('J'));    }} |
Output:
HashCode value of J: 74
