Thread: Having issues with understanding this Project

I am stuck on a problem that I hope to help me understand. In pseudocode.....

I have a username and password that is downloaded into a hashmap
Map<Integer, String> map = new Map<Integer,String>
the password has been downloaded with hash() to show a numeric value instead of the real password

I download a list of possible passwords into a LinkedHashSet. This is where I get lost. Help me understand how with the equals() I can check the values that I iterate through against the map.getvalue(). Thank you for your input.

Show what you've tried with any errors, unsatisfactory results, etc.

I solved it.

First sub string--> John
First sub string's hashcode--> 2314539
Second sub string--> 110182
Second sub string's hashcode--> 1449559771
shows size of hashmap 4
******************************
If Key from HashMap equals the dictionary teststring's hashcode then..
MATCHED!! Jane-Test string is two, teststring's hash value is 115276
