Can a non-empty string have a hashcode of zero?

Question

By \"non-empty\", I mean in this question a string which contains at least one non-zero character.

For reference, here\'s the hashCode implementation :<

Answer 1

just be care of that int h;. It may overflow, every string that satisfy h % 2^31 == 0 may lead to this.

public class HelloWorld {
    public static void main(String []args) {
       System.out.println("\u0001!qbygvW".hashCode());
        System.out.println("9 $Ql(0".hashCode());
        System.out.println(" #t(}lrl".hashCode());
        System.out.println(" !!#jbw}a".hashCode());
        System.out.println(" !!#jbw|||".hashCode());
        System.out.println(" !!!!Se|aaJ".hashCode());
        System.out.println(" !!!!\"xurlls".hashCode());
    }
}

A lot of strings...
