I was wondering whether it would be correct (I know its not preferable) to override the hashCode method in this way:

public int hashCode()
{
    return 250;
}

I know that in this case every Object of that class would have same hashCode but that would not mean that they are equal.
Opinions. Is it a "work-able" implementation?

No - you'd have to have a very good reason to have every instance of a class returning the same hashcode. I can't think of one

The hashCode() method should return the same result for Objects that are equal as defined by the equals() method. If two Objects aren't equal, then the hashCode() method shouldn't return the same result for those two Objects.

Ok.Thanks for replies. So i can sum up saying that its not correct to implement it that way:). Thanks.
