  • Java hashcode based on identity

    - by hjfreyer
    The default behavior of Object.hashCode() is to return essentially the "address" of the object so that a.hashCode() == b.hashCode() if and only if a == b. How can I get this behavior in a user-defined class if a superclass already defines hashCode()? For instance: class A { public int hashCode() { return 0; } } class B extends A { public int hashCode() { // Now I want to return a unique hashcode for each object. // In pythonic terms, it'd look something like: return Object.hashCode(this); } } Ideas?
