Question

class Test1
{
public int value;
public int hashCode() { return 42; }
}
class Test2
{
public int value;
public int hashcode() { return (int)(value^5); }
}


which statement is true?


Options:
A .  class Test1 will not compile.
B .  The Test1 hashCode() method is more efficient than the Test2 hashCode() method.
C .  The Test1 hashCode() method is less efficient than the Test2 hashCode() method.
D .  class Test2 will not compile.
Answer: Option C

The so-called "hashing algorithm" implemented by class Test1 will always return the same value, 

42, which is legal but which will place all of the hash table entries into a single bucket, the most 

inefficient setup possible.

Option A and D are incorrect because these classes are legal.

Option B is incorrect based on the logic described above.
