The hashCode() method of a LocalTime class is used to return hashCode for this time. The hashcode is always the same if the object doesn’t change. Hashcode is a unique code generated by the JVM at time of object creation. It can be used to perform some operation on hashing related algorithm like hashtable, hashmap etc. An object can also be searched with its unique code (hashcode).
Syntax:
public int hashCode()
Parameters: This method does not accept any parameter.
Return value: This method returns an integer value which is the hashCode.
Below programs illustrate the hashCode() method:
Program 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// LocalTime.hashCode() methodimport java.time.*;public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a LocalTime object LocalTime time = LocalTime.parse("10:44:59.73"); // get hashcode using gethashCode() method int hashcode = time.hashCode(); // print result System.out.println("hashCode: " + hashcode); }} |
Output:
hashCode: 2074672050
Program 2:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// LocalTime.hashCode() methodimport java.time.*;public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a LocalTime object LocalTime time = LocalTime.parse("18:00:01"); // get hashcode using gethashCode() method int hashcode = time.hashCode(); // print result System.out.println("hashCode: " + hashcode); }} |
Output:
hashCode: -1466552081
