Java中 hashCode()方法详解

先来看下Object源码里hashcode方法:

  /**
     * Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is
     * supported for the benefit of hashtables such as those provided by
     * <code>java.util.Hashtable</code>.
     * <p>
     * The general contract of <code>hashCode</code> is:
     * <ul>
     * <li>Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during
     *     an execution of a Java application, the <tt>hashCode</tt> method
     *     must consistently return the same integer, provided no information
     *     used in <tt>equals</tt> 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.
     * <li>If two objects are equal according to the <tt>equals(Object)</tt>
     *     method, then calling the <code>hashCode</code> method on each of
     *     the two objects must produce the same integer result.
     * <li>It is <em>not</em> required that if two objects are unequal
     *     according to the {@link java.lang.Object#equals(java.lang.Object)}
     *     method, then calling the <tt>hashCode</tt> 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.
     * </ul>
     * <p>
     * As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by
     * class <tt>Object</tt> 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<font size="-2"><sup>TM</sup></font> programming language.)
     *
     * @return  a hash code value for this object.
     * @see     java.lang.Object#equals(java.lang.Object)
     * @see     java.util.Hashtable
     */
    public native int hashCode();  

根据上面的注释我们可以看到,在调用equals方法的时候会调用hashcode(),也就是我们重写equals()的时候也要重写hashCode()...

我们在来看下hashTable的实现:

    /**
     * Returns the hash code value for this Map as per the definition in the
     * Map interface.
     *
     * @see Map#hashCode()
     * @since 1.2
     */
   // 计算Hashtable的哈希值

    public synchronized int hashCode() {
        /*
         * This code detects the recursion caused by computing the hash code
         * of a self-referential hash table and prevents the stack overflow
         * that would otherwise result.  This allows certain 1.1-era
         * applets with self-referential hash tables to work.  This code
         * abuses the loadFactor field to do double-duty as a hashCode
         * in progress flag, so as not to worsen the space performance.
         * A negative load factor indicates that hash code computation is
         * in progress.
         */
        int h = 0;
        if (count == 0 || loadFactor < 0)
            return h;  // Returns zero

        loadFactor = -loadFactor;  // Mark hashCode computation in progress
        Entry[] tab = table;
        for (int i = 0; i < tab.length; i++)
            for (Entry e = tab[i]; e != null; e = e.next)
                h += e.key.hashCode() ^ e.value.hashCode();   //否则,返回“Hashtable中的每个Entry的key和value的异或值 的总和”。
        loadFactor = -loadFactor;  // Mark hashCode computation complete

    return h;
    }

 

如果根据 equals(Object) 方法,两个对象是相等的,那么对这两个对象中的每个对象调用 hashCode 方法都必须生成相同的整数结果,注:这里说的equals(Object) 方法是指Object类中未被子类重写过的equals方法。
如果两个hashCode()返回的结果相等,则两个对象的equals方法不一定相等。
