java hashcode 位数_Java中 hashCode（）方法详解

/**

* Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is

* supported for the benefit of hashtables such as those provided by

* java.util.Hashtable.

*

* The general contract of hashCode is:

*

*

Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during

*     an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method

*     must consistently return the same integer, provided no information

*     used in equals comparisons on the object is modified.

*     This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an

*     application to another execution of the same application.

*

If two objects are equal according to the equals(Object)

*     method, then calling the hashCode method on each of

*     the two objects must produce the same integer result.

*

It is not required that if two objects are unequal

*     according to the {@link java.lang.Object#equals(java.lang.Object)}

*     method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the

*     two objects must produce distinct integer results.  However, the

*     programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results

*     for unequal objects may improve the performance of hashtables.

*

*

* As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by

* class Object does return distinct integers for distinct

* objects. (This is typically implemented by converting the internal

* address of the object into an integer, but this implementation

* technique is not required by the

* Java^TM programming language.)

*

* @return  a hash code value for this object.

* @see     java.lang.Object#equals(java.lang.Object)

* @see     java.util.Hashtable
