## com.bea.p13n.util
Class HashCodeUtil

    java.lang.Object
      com.bea.p13n.util.HashCodeUtil

    public final class HashCodeUtil

extends Object

Collected methods which allow easy implementation of `hashCode`. Example use case:

      public int hashCode(){
        int result = HashCodeUtil.SEED;
        //collect the contributions of various fields
        result = HashCodeUtil.hash(result, fPrimitive);
        result = HashCodeUtil.hash(result, fObject);
        result = HashCodeUtil.hash(result, fArray);
        return result;
      }

See Effective Java, by Joshua Bloch

Field Detail

### SEED

    public static final int SEED

  An initial value for a `hashCode`, to which is added contributions from fields. Using a non-zero value decreases collisons of `hashCode` values.
