Java.util.Arrays.hashCode(float[]) Method

Description

The java.util.Arrays.hashCode(float[]) method returns a hash code based on the contents of the specified array. For any two float arrays a and b such that Arrays.equals(a, b), it is also the case that Arrays.hashCode(a) == Arrays.hashCode(b).

Declaration

Following is the declaration for java.util.Arrays.hashCode() method

public static int hashCode(float[] a)

Parameters

• a -- This is the array whose hash value to compute.

Return Value

This method returns a content-based hash code for a.

Exception

• NA

Example

The following example shows the usage of java.util.Arrays.hashCode() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.Arrays;

public class ArrayDemo {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
   
    // initializing float array
    float[] fval = new float[] { 32.1f, 55.4f };

    // hashcode for value1
    int retval = fval.hashCode();
   
    // printing hash code value
    System.out.println("The hash code of value1 is: " + retval);
   
    // value2 for double array
    fval=new float[] { 11.2f, 78.4f };
    
    // hashcode for value2
    retval=fval.hashCode();

    // printing hash code value
    System.out.println("The hash code of value2 is: " + retval);
  }
}

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

The hash code of value1 is: 4072869
The hash code of value2 is: 1671711
