Convert a string to hash in Java
hashCode() method of String class can be used to convert a string into hash code.

Example 1
class StringTest{
public static void main(String args[]){
String str="Everyone is equal";
int hashedvalue=str.hashCode();
System.out.println("Hashed value is "+hashedvalue);
}
}
Output 1
Hashed value is 1346529203
Example 2
class StringTest{
public static void main(String args[]){
String str1="You are awesome";
int hashedvalue=str1.hashCode();
System.out.println("Hashed value is "+hashedvalue);
}
}
Output 2
Hashed value is -1357061130
