BigInteger hashCode() Method in Java

The java.math.BigInteger.hashCode() method returns the hash code for this BigInteger. The hashcode is always the same if the object doesn’t change.
Hashcode is a unique code generated by the JVM at the time of object creation. We can use hashcode to perform some operation on hashing related algorithms like hashtable, hashmap etc. We can search an object with that unique code.

Syntax:

public int hashCode()

Returns: The method returns an integer value which represents hashCode value for this BigInteger.

Examples:

Input: BigInteger1=32145
Output: 32145
Explanation: BigInteger1.hashCode()=32145.

Input: BigInteger1=7613721467324 
Output: -1255493552
Explanation: BigInteger1.hashCode()=-1255493552.

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Creating 2 BigInteger objects
        BigInteger b1, b2;
  
        b1 = new BigInteger("32145");
        b2 = new BigInteger("7613721467324");
  
        // apply hashCode() method
        int hashCodeOfb1 = b1.hashCode();
        int hashCodeOfb2 = b2.hashCode();
  
        // print hashCode
        System.out.println("hashCode of "
                           + b1 + " : " + hashCodeOfb1);
        System.out.println("hashCode of "
                           + b2 + " : " + hashCodeOfb2);
    }
}

                        filter_none









Output:


hashCode of 32145 : 32145
hashCode of 7613721467324 : -1255493552
