hashCode.Object {R.oo} | R Documentation |
Gets a hash code for the Object
Description
Gets a hash code for the Object. This makes it possible to put any Object
in a hash table.
The hash code returned must:
1) be consistent, i.e. hashCode(obj)
should return the same
value on multiple invocations as long as nothing has changed.
2) tell same same thing as equals()
, if equals(o1,o2)
is
TRUE
, then hashCode(o1) == hashCode(o2)
should also be
TRUE
.
Note that if equals(o1,o2)
is FALSE
, hashCode(o1)
hashCode(o2)
may be either equal or non-equal.
By default, the method returns the internal memory address where the Object is located.
