The hashCode() method of Set in Java is used to get the hashCode value for this instance of the Set. It returns an integer value which is the hashCode value for this instance of the Set.
Syntax:
public int hashCode()
Parameters: This function has no parameters.
Returns: The method returns an integer value which is the hashCode value for this instance of the Set.
Below examples illustrates the Set.hashCode() method:
Example 1:
import java.util.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Set<Integer> arr = new HashSet<Integer>();
arr.add( 1 );
arr.add( 2 );
arr.add( 3 );
arr.add( 4 );
System.out.println( "Set: " + arr);
System.out.println( "HashCode value: " + arr.hashCode());
}
}
|
Output:
Set: [1, 2, 3, 4]
HashCode value: 10
Example 2:
import java.util.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Set<String> arr = new HashSet<String>();
arr.add( "Geeks" );
arr.add( "For" );
arr.add( "ForGeeks" );
arr.add( "GeeksForGeeks" );
System.out.println( "Set: " + arr);
System.out.println( "HashCode value: "
+ arr.hashCode());
}
}
|
Output:
Set: [ForGeeks, Geeks, For, GeeksForGeeks]
HashCode value: -482506029
