hashCode and identityHashCode in Java #java #javaprogramming #shorts

The Hashcodes of two Strings are the same if the strings are equal.

We cannot use the hashcode if we need a unique identifier for each object in any application.

You will need to use the identityHashCode instead. identityHashCode is returned by a System call.

Even though we have the same content, the two strings have two different identityHashcodes, while their normal HashCodes are the same.
