Chapter 18, Problem 14SA
Program Plan Intro

“hashCode” method:

  • The hash code is an integer value which is the characteristic of an object.
  • The hashing algorithm is used to evaluate a hash code for an object.
  • Different objects in the code contain same data and a hashing algorithm should give the same hash code for both.
  • For example, if the user wants to evaluate the hash code for a string, he would use the characters making up the string in the calculation. Possibly the user would use each character’s Unicode value in a mathematical formula which would give us an integer value.

“equals” method:

  • The “equals” method finds whether the number object which invokes the method is equal to the object which is passed as an argument.
  • This method will return “false” if the argument is null and the argument is an object of the different type with the different numeric value.

Create a new Hash class that uses an arraylist instead of an array for the hash table. Test your implementation by rewriting (yet again) the computer terms glossary application.
In this problem you will have to take the HashMap provided and print out all the keys.   import java.util.HashMap;public class MapPrintKeys{public static void solution(HashMap<String,Integer> map){// ↓↓↓↓ your code goes here ↓↓↓↓}}
#5. Please give a program to implement hashcode and equals..
