master exam doubt

int x=0;
if(x1.hashcode()!=x2.hashcode())x=x+1;
if(x3.equals(x4)==false)x=x+10;

if(x5.equals(x6)==true)x=x+100;

if(x7.hashcode()==x8.hashcode())x=x+1000;


If o/p is 1111
which is always true
x5.hashcode()==x6.hashcode()
x3.hashcode()!=x4.hashcode()
x1.equals(x2)==true
x7.equals(x8)==true


I thinks answer should be x5.hashcode()==x6.hashcode()
but the answer was given x1.equals(x2)==true
Is answer given wrong?

Could you please publish the full code, what the values of x1,x2 ... so on..

I think you are right.



if x1.equals(x2)==true
then they should give same hashcode, but then the output can not be 1111 (you would miss 1 at the end)
