Interface TLongHashingStrategy

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

TLongHash, TLongObjectHashMap

public interface TLongHashingStrategy
extends Serializable

Interface to support pluggable hashing strategies in maps and sets. Implementors can use this interface to make the trove hashing algorithms use an optimal strategy when computing hashcodes. Created: Sun Nov 4 08:56:06 2001

int	computeHashCode(long val) Computes a hash code for the specified long.

Method Detail

computeHashCode

int computeHashCode(long val)

Computes a hash code for the specified long. Implementors can use the long's own value or a custom scheme designed to minimize collisions for a known set of input.

Parameters:

val - long for which the hashcode is to be computed

Returns:

the hashCode
