## Class HashCodeBuilder

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.cayenne.util.HashCodeBuilder

-     public class HashCodeBuilder
      extends Object

  Assists in implementing `Object.hashCode()` methods. The code is based on HashCodeBuilder from commons-lang 2.1.
  Since:
    3.0

- - ### Constructor Summary

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### HashCodeBuilder

          public HashCodeBuilder()

      Uses two hard coded choices for the constants needed to build a `hashCode`.

    - #### HashCodeBuilder

          public HashCodeBuilder(int initialNonZeroOddNumber,
                                 int multiplierNonZeroOddNumber)

      Two randomly chosen, non-zero, odd numbers must be passed in. Ideally these should be different for each class, however this is not vital.

      Prime numbers are preferred, especially for the multiplier.

      Parameters:
        `initialNonZeroOddNumber` - a non-zero, odd number used as the initial value
        `multiplierNonZeroOddNumber` - a non-zero, odd number used as the multiplier
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if the number is zero or even

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### appendSuper

          public HashCodeBuilder appendSuper(int superHashCode)

      Adds the result of super.hashCode() to this builder.

      Parameters:
        `superHashCode` - the result of calling `super.hashCode()`
      Returns:
        this HashCodeBuilder, used to chain calls.
      Since:
        2.0

        this

    - #### append

          public HashCodeBuilder append(byte value)

      Append a `hashCode` for a `byte`.

    - #### append

          public HashCodeBuilder append(double value)

      Append a `hashCode` for a `double`.

      Parameters:
        `value` - the double to add to the `hashCode`

    - #### append

          public HashCodeBuilder append(float value)
