public static void main(String s[])
{
String str = new String("Hello World");

Double b2 = Double.valueOf("3.5");

Integer b4 = new Integer("77");

int x = 14;

int obj1 = str.hashcode();
int obj2 = b2.hashcode();
int obj3 = b4.hashcode();
int obj4 = x.hashcode();

System.out.println(obj1);
System.out.println(obj2);
System.out.println(obj3);
System.out.println(obj4);
}
}

The method is named "hashCode()" -- with a capital "C". Case is significant in Java. You're also going to have problems with this line:

int obj4 = x.hashcode();

because "x" is an int, because you can't call methods on ints or other primitive types.

One more thing, while you're listening: There's essentially never any reason to write

String str = new String("Hello World");

in Java. Strings are immutable so don't need to be copied. Instead, just write

String str = "Hello World";

Hi Niyas
The 'c' in your hascode() method should be a capital 'C'. Change your code to

Also, an int it a literal and does not have methods so your line

will not work.
