Java Arrays hashCode() Method

In this tutorial, we will learn about the hashCode() method of the Arrays class in Java. This method will convert the given array to the hash code based on the content of the array. There are many overloading methods of hashCode() and here we will explore one by one

Syntax

This method returns a hash code based on the contents of the given array of boolean type.

public static int hashCode(boolean[] arr)

List of the Overloading Methods of hashCode() Method

This table contains all the overloaded variants of hashCode() method.

Example: Get Hash Code of boolean Array
