public interface TObjectHashingStrategy<T>
extends java.io.Serializable
```
Interface to support pluggable hashing strategies in maps and sets. Implementors can use this interface to make the trove hashing algorithms use object values, values provided by the java runtime, or a custom strategy when computing hashcodes. Created: Sat Aug 17 10:52:32 2002

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods

`boolean`	`equals(T o1, T o2)`	Compares o1 and o2 for equality.

- Method Detail
  - computeHashCode
```
int computeHashCode(T object)
```
    Computes a hash code for the specified object. Implementors can use the object's own hashCode method, the Java runtime's identityHashCode, or a custom scheme.
    
    Parameters:
    
    object - for which the hashcode is to be computed
    
    Returns:
    
    the hashCode
  - equals
```
boolean equals(T o1,
               T o2)
```
    Compares o1 and o2 for equality. Strategy implementors may use the objects' own equals() methods, compare object references, or implement some custom scheme.
    
    Parameters:
    
    o1 - an Object value
    
    o2 - an Object value
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the objects are equal according to this strategy.
