IdentityHashMap hashCode() Method in Java

Last Updated : 24 Jul, 2018

The java.util.IdentityHashMap.hashCode() method in Java is used to fetch the hash code value of a particular this IdentityHashMap. A map consists of a number of buckets to store the key-value pair. Each bucket has a unique identity and when a key-value pair is inserted into a bucket, the key’s hashcode is matched with the identifier of the bucket, and if its a match the pair is stored successfully. This is how the hash code works.

Syntax:

Identity_HashMap.hashCode()

Parameters: The method does not accept any parameters.

Return Value: The method returns the hashcode value of the map.

Below programs are used to illustrate the working of java.util.IdentityHashMap.hashCode() Method:

Program 1: Mapping String Values to Integer Keys.

   // Java code to illustrate the hashCode() method 
import java.util.*; 
  
public class Identity_Hash_Map_Demo { 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
  
        // Creating an empty IdentityHashMap 
        IdentityHashMap<Integer, String> identity_hash =  
                   new IdentityHashMap<Integer, String>(); 
  
        // Mapping string values to int keys 
        identity_hash.put(10, "Geeks"); 
        identity_hash.put(15, "4"); 
        identity_hash.put(20, "Geeks"); 
        identity_hash.put(25, "Welcomes"); 
        identity_hash.put(30, "You"); 
  
        // Displaying the IdentityHashMap 
        System.out.println("Initial Mappings are: "
                           + identity_hash); 
  
        // Getting the hashcode value for the map 
        System.out.println("The hashcode value of the map: "
                                + identity_hash.hashCode()); 
    } 
} 
 
  

Output:

  Initial Mappings are: {10=Geeks, 30=You, 20=Geeks, 25=Welcomes, 15=4}  The hashcode value of the map: 2043437408

Program 2: Mapping Integer Values to String Keys.

   // Java code to illustrate the hashCode() method 
import java.util.*; 
  
public class Identity_Hash_Map_Demo { 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
  
        // Creating an empty IdentityHashMap 
        Map<String, Integer> identity_hash =  
                    new IdentityHashMap<String, Integer>(); 
  
        // Mapping int values to string keys 
        identity_hash.put("Geeks", 10); 
        identity_hash.put("4", 15); 
        identity_hash.put("Geeks", 20); 
        identity_hash.put("Welcomes", 25); 
        identity_hash.put("You", 30); 
  
        // Displaying the IdentityHashMap 
        System.out.println("Initial Mappings are: "
                           + identity_hash); 
  
        // Getting the hashcode value for the map 
        System.out.println("The hashcode value of the map: "
                                + identity_hash.hashCode()); 
    } 
} 
 
  

Output:

  Initial Mappings are: {Geeks=20, Welcomes=25, You=30, 4=15}  The hashcode value of the map: 751311572

Note: The same operation can be performed with any type of Mapping with variation and combination of different data types.
