Java Integer hashCode() Method

The hashCode() method is a Java Integer class method which returns the hash code for the given inputs. There are two different types of Java hashCode() method which can be differentiated depending on its parameter.

These are:

1. Java Integer hashCode() Method
2. Java Integer hashCode(int value) Method

hashCode() Method

The hashCode() is a method of Java Integer Class which determines the hash code for a given Integer. It overrides hashCode in class Object. By default, this method returns a random integer that is unique for each instance.

hashCode(int value) Method

The hashCode(int value) is an inbuilt Java Integer Class method which determines a hash code for a given int value. This method is compatible with Integer.hashCode().
