class A{
    
      @Override
      public int hashCode() {
        return 10;
    }
}

public class SampleClass {

    public static void main(String[] args){
        Map map = new HashMap();

        map.put(new A(), "A");
        map.put(new A(), "B");

        System.out.println(map.size());
        
        System.out.println(new A().hashCode());
        System.out.println(new A().hashCode());
    }
}

Output :-

2

10

10

Why 2???. If we are implementing hashCode method which is returning same integer. Should not the size be 1???

class A{
    
      @Override
      public int hashCode() {
        return 10;
    }
}

public class SampleClass {

    public static void main(String[] args){
        Map map = new HashMap();

        map.put(new A(), "A");
        map.put(new A(), "B");

        System.out.println(map.size());
        
        System.out.println(new A().hashCode());
        System.out.println(new A().hashCode());
    }
}
