<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><b>Description:</b></p>
<p> This method returns a hash code for this string. The hash code for a String object is computed as:</p>
<p> <b>s[0]*31^(n-1) + s[1]*31^(n-2) + &#8230; + s[n-1]</b></p>
<p> Using int arithmetic, where s[i] is the ith character of the string, n is the length of the string, and ^ indicates exponentiation. (The hash value of the empty string is zero.)</p>
<p><b>Syntax:</b></p>
<p> Here is the syntax of this method:</p>
<pre class="highlight" name="code">public int hashCode()
</pre>
<p>
<b>Parameters:</b></p>
<p> Here is the detail of parameters:</p>
<p> NA</p>
<p> <b>Return Value:</b></p>
<p> This method returns a hash code value for this object.</p>
<p> <b>Example:</b></p>
<pre class="highlight" name="code">import java.io.*;

public class Test{
 public static void main(String args[]){
 String Str = new String("Welcome to dineshonjava.com");
 System.out.println("Hashcode for Str :" + Str.hashCode() );
 }
}
</pre>
<p>
This produces following result:</p>
<div style="background-color: #ff99cc;"><b>output:</b><br />
Hashcode for Str :1186874997</div>
