[java] Java에서 hashCode의 사용은 무엇입니까?

hashCode ()의 사용 중 하나는 캐칭 메커니즘을 빌드하는 것 입니다. 이 예를보십시오 :

        class Point
    {
      public int x, y;

      public Point(int x, int y)
      {
        this.x = x;
        this.y = y;
      }

      @Override
      public boolean equals(Object o)
      {
        if (this == o) return true;
        if (o == null || getClass() != o.getClass()) return false;

        Point point = (Point) o;

        if (x != point.x) return false;
        return y == point.y;
      }

      @Override
      public int hashCode()
      {
        int result = x;
        result = 31 * result + y;
        return result;
      }

class Line
{
  public Point start, end;

  public Line(Point start, Point end)
  {
    this.start = start;
    this.end = end;
  }

  @Override
  public boolean equals(Object o)
  {
    if (this == o) return true;
    if (o == null || getClass() != o.getClass()) return false;

    Line line = (Line) o;

    if (!start.equals(line.start)) return false;
    return end.equals(line.end);
  }

  @Override
  public int hashCode()
  {
    int result = start.hashCode();
    result = 31 * result + end.hashCode();
    return result;
  }
}
class LineToPointAdapter implements Iterable<Point>
{
  private static int count = 0;
  private static Map<Integer, List<Point>> cache = new HashMap<>();
  private int hash;

  public LineToPointAdapter(Line line)
  {
    hash = line.hashCode();
    if (cache.get(hash) != null) return; // we already have it

    System.out.println(
      String.format("%d: Generating points for line [%d,%d]-[%d,%d] (no caching)",
        ++count, line.start.x, line.start.y, line.end.x, line.end.y));
}
