Example

The following example shows the usage of math.BigInteger.hashCode() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.math.*;

public class BigIntegerDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create 2 BigInteger objects
      BigInteger bi1, bi2;
   
      // create 2 int objects
      int i1, i2;

      // assign values to bi1, bi2
      bi1 = new BigInteger("12345");
      bi2 = new BigInteger("923456789123");

      // assign the hashcode of bi1, bi2 to i1, i2
      i1 = bi1.hashCode();
      i2 = bi2.hashCode();

      String str1 = "HashCode of " +bi1+ " is " +i1;
      String str2 = "HashCode of " +bi2+ " is " +i2;

      // print i1, i2 values
      System.out.println( str1 );
      System.out.println( str2 );
   }
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

HashCode of 12345 is 12345
HashCode of 923456789123 is 38827148
