The
hashCode() method of
Byte class is a built in method in Java which is used to return the hash code of the ByteObject.
Note: The hashCode() returns the same value as intValue().
Syntax
ByteObject.hashCode()
Return Value: It return an
int value which represents the hashcode of the specified Byte object.
Below is the implementation of hashCode() method in Java:
Example 1:
Java
// Java code to demonstrate
// Byte hashCode() method
class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String value = "74";
// wrapping the byte value
// in the wrapper class Byte
Byte b = new Byte(value);
// hashCode of the Byte Object
int output = b.hashCode();
// printing the output
System.out.println("HashCode of "
+ b + " : " + output);
}
}
Output:
HashCode of 74 : 74
Example 2:
Java
// Java code to demonstrate
// Byte hashCode() method
class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String value = "-17";
// wrapping the byte value
// in the wrapper class Byte
Byte b = new Byte(value);
// hashCode of the Byte Object
int output = b.hashCode();
// printing the output
System.out.println("HashCode of "
+ b + " : " + output);
}
}
Output:
HashCode of -17 : -17
