Unless the hash is >cached, as in String. The object as a whole has a hashCode. that is just a 32 bit operation. The compare might end up comparing a number of long strings char by char. HashCodes are cached. The speed comes when it is already computed. In some cases you can tolerate a small rate of error. I would think often mistaking a no-change for a change would not be catastrophic, though the opposite normally would be. I don't think any hashCode/checksum method could guarantee 100% accuracy. -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products http://mindprod.com How long did it take after the car was invented before owners understood cars would not work unless you regularly changed the oil and the tires? We have gone 33 years and still it is rare to uncover a user who understands computers don't work without regular backups.
