In this post, you’ll learn how to use the GetHashCode method or DelphiVCL.Application.GetHashCode is used to return an integer containing the hash code. By default, calling GetHashCode on an object returns an integer representing the virtual address at which the object is stored.
Notes:
- GetHashCode is supposed to be overridden in user-derived classes, to provide consumer objects with an integer hash code representation.
- The sign of the hash code depends on the address of the particular object instance. A negative hash code can appear for object instances that reside at higher memory locations.
Learning more about the GetHashCode method will help you build Delphi VCL Applications more easily in the future with Python Programming Software.
