Question

I have an object with a String that holds a unique id . (such as \"ocx7gf\" or \"67hfs8\") I need to supply it an implementation of int hascode() which will be unique obvio

Answer 1

represent each string character by a five-digit binary digit, eg. a by 00001 b by 00010 etc. thus 32 combinations are possible, for example, cat might be written as 00100 00001 01100, then convert this binary into decimal, eg. this would be 4140, thus cat would be 4140, similarly, you can get cat back from 4140 by converting it to binary first and Map the five digit binary to string
