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
