Interface TShortHashingStrategy

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

TShortHash, TShortLongHashMap, TShortObjectHashMap

public interface TShortHashingStrategy
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(short val) Computes a hash code for the specified short.

Method Detail

computeHashCode

int computeHashCode(short val)

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

Parameters:

val - short for which the hashcode is to be computed

Returns:

the hashCode
