A hash function is any function that can be used to map data of arbitrary size to data of fixed size.The values returned by a hash function are called hash values, hash codes, hash sums, or simply hashes. One use is a data structure called a hash table, widely used in computer software for rapid data lookup.Hash functions accelerate table or database lookup by detecting duplicated records in a large file.he values returned by a hash function are called hash values, hash codes, hash sums, or simply hashes. One use is a data structure called a hash table, widely used in computer software for rapid data lookup.
Note that there can only be one null key in HashMap . If key is null , then Null keys always map to hash 0, thus index 0. If key is not null then , it will call hashfunction on the key object , see line 4 in above method i.e. key.hashCode() ,so after key.hashCode() returns hashValue , line 4 looks like.
