Last Updated :

The
hashCode() method of
SortedSet in Java is used to get the hashCode value for this instance of the SortedSet. It returns an integer value which is the hashCode value for this instance of the SortedSet.
Syntax:
public int hashCode()
Parameters: This function has no parameters.
Returns: The method returns an
integer value which is the hashCode value for this instance of the Set.
Note: The hashCode() method in
SortedSet is inherited from the
Set interface in Java.
Below examples illustrates the SortedSet.hashCode() method:
Example 1:
Java
// Java code to demonstrate the working of
// hashCode() method in SortedSet
import java.util.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// creating an Set
SortedSet<Integer> arr
= new TreeSet<Integer>();
// using add() to initialize values
// [1, 2, 3, 4]
arr.add(1);
arr.add(2);
arr.add(3);
arr.add(4);
// print Set
System.out.println("Set: " + arr);
// Get the hashCode value
// using hashCode() value
System.out.println("HashCode value: "
+ arr.hashCode());
}
}
Output:
Set: [1, 2, 3, 4]
HashCode value: 10
Example 2:
Java
// Java code to demonstrate the working of
// hashCode() method in Set
import java.util.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// creating an Set
SortedSet<String> arr
= new TreeSet<String>();
// using add() to initialize values
// [Geeks, For, ForGeeks, GeeksForGeeks]
arr.add("Geeks");
arr.add("For");
arr.add("ForGeeks");
arr.add("GeeksForGeeks");
// print Set
System.out.println("Set: " + arr);
// Get the hashCode value
// using hashCode() value
System.out.println("HashCode value: "
+ arr.hashCode());
}
}
Output:
Set: [For, ForGeeks, Geeks, GeeksForGeeks]
HashCode value: -482506029
