Hasher (Guava: Google Core Libraries for Java 22.0-android API)

All Superinterfaces:

PrimitiveSink
```
@Beta
public interface Hasher
extends PrimitiveSink
```
A PrimitiveSink that can compute a hash code after reading the input. Each hasher should translate all multibyte values (putInt(int), putLong(long), etc) to bytes in little-endian order.
Warning: The result of calling any methods after calling hash() is undefined.
Warning: Using a specific character encoding when hashing a CharSequence with putString(CharSequence, Charset) is generally only useful for cross-language compatibility (otherwise prefer putUnencodedChars(java.lang.CharSequence)). However, the character encodings must be identical across languages. Also beware that Charset definitions may occasionally change between Java releases.
Warning: Chunks of data that are put into the Hasher are not delimited. The resulting HashCode is dependent only on the bytes inserted, and the order in which they were inserted, not how those bytes were chunked into discrete put() operations. For example, the following three expressions all generate colliding hash codes:
```
   

   newHasher().putByte(b1).putByte(b2).putByte(b3).hash()
   newHasher().putByte(b1).putBytes(new byte[] { b2, b3 }).hash()
   newHasher().putBytes(new byte[] { b1, b2, b3 }).hash()
```
If you wish to avoid this, you should either prepend or append the size of each chunk. Keep in mind that when dealing with char sequences, the encoded form of two concatenated char sequences is not equivalent to the concatenation of their encoded form. Therefore, putString(CharSequence, Charset) should only be used consistently with complete sequences and not broken into chunks.

`Hasher`	`putBoolean(boolean b)` Equivalent to `putByte(b ? (byte) 1 : (byte) 0)`.
`Hasher`	`putByte(byte b)` Puts a byte into this sink.

    Description copied from interface: PrimitiveSink
    
    Puts a byte into this sink.
    
    Specified by:
    
    putByte in interface PrimitiveSink
    
    Parameters:
    
    b - a byte
    
    Returns:
    
    this instance
  - putBytes
```
Hasher putBytes(byte[] bytes)
```
    Description copied from interface: PrimitiveSink
    
    Puts an array of bytes into this sink.
    
    Specified by:
    
    putBytes in interface PrimitiveSink
    
    Parameters:
    
    bytes - a byte array
    
    Returns:

  - putBytes
```
Hasher putBytes(byte[] bytes,
                int off,
                int len)
```
    Description copied from interface: PrimitiveSink
    
    Puts a chunk of an array of bytes into this sink. bytes[off] is the first byte written, bytes[off + len - 1] is the last.
    
    Specified by:
    
    putBytes in interface PrimitiveSink
    
    Parameters:
    
    bytes - a byte array
    
    off - the start offset in the array
    
    len - the number of bytes to write
    
    Returns:
    
    this instance
  - putShort
```
Hasher putShort(short s)
```
    Description copied from interface: PrimitiveSink
    
    Puts a short into this sink.
    
    Specified by:
    
    putShort in interface PrimitiveSink
  - putInt
```
Hasher putInt(int i)
```
    Description copied from interface: PrimitiveSink
    
    Puts an int into this sink.
    
    Specified by:
    
    putInt in interface PrimitiveSink
  - putLong
```
Hasher putLong(long l)
```
    Description copied from interface: PrimitiveSink
    
    Puts a long into this sink.
    
    Specified by:
    
    putLong in interface PrimitiveSink
  - putFloat
```
Hasher putFloat(float f)
```
    Equivalent to putInt(Float.floatToRawIntBits(f)).
    
    Specified by:
    
    putFloat in interface PrimitiveSink
  - putDouble
```
Hasher putDouble(double d)
```
    Equivalent to putLong(Double.doubleToRawLongBits(d)).
    
    Specified by:
    
    putDouble in interface PrimitiveSink

    Specified by:
    
    putChar in interface PrimitiveSink
  - putUnencodedChars
```
Hasher putUnencodedChars(CharSequence charSequence)
```
    Equivalent to processing each char value in the CharSequence, in order. In other words, no character encoding is performed; the low byte and high byte of each char are hashed directly (in that order). The input must not be updated while this method is in progress.
    Warning: This method will produce different output than most other languages do when running the same hash function on the equivalent input. For cross-language compatibility, use putString(java.lang.CharSequence, java.nio.charset.Charset), usually with a charset of UTF-8. For other use cases, use putUnencodedChars.
    
    Specified by:
    
    putUnencodedChars in interface PrimitiveSink
    
    Since:
    
    15.0 (since 11.0 as putString(CharSequence)).
  - putString
```
Hasher putString(CharSequence charSequence,
                 Charset charset)
```
    Equivalent to putBytes(charSequence.toString().getBytes(charset)).
    Warning: This method, which reencodes the input before hashing it, is useful only for cross-language compatibility. For other use cases, prefer putUnencodedChars(java.lang.CharSequence), which is faster, produces the same output across Java releases, and hashes every char in the input, even if some are invalid.
    
    Specified by:
    
    putString in interface PrimitiveSink
  - putObject
```
<T> Hasher putObject(T instance,
                     Funnel<? super T> funnel)
```
    A simple convenience for funnel.funnel(object, this).
  - hash
```
HashCode hash()
```
    Computes a hash code based on the data that have been provided to this hasher. The result is unspecified if this method is called more than once on the same instance.
  - hashCode
```
@Deprecated
int hashCode()
```
    Deprecated. This returns Object.hashCode(); you almost certainly mean to call hash().asInt().
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
