[jira] [Created] (LANG-804) Redundant check for zero in HashCodeBuilder ctor

Sebb created LANG-804:
-------------------------

             Summary: Redundant check for zero in HashCodeBuilder ctor
                 Key: LANG-804
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-804
             Project: Commons Lang
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Sebb
            Priority: Minor


The HashCodeBuilder(int, int) ctor checks both parameters for zero, as well as checking for an odd number.

Zero is never odd, so the zero check could be eliminated.

[jira] [Commented] (LANG-804) Redundant check for zero in HashCodeBuilder ctor

---------------------------

Huh? 0 % 2 does not result in / 0 error in the Java compilers I have encountered.

The == 0 checks are redundant, and can just be removed. No other change is needed.

The only reason for keeping them would be to distinguish 0 as a different kind of non-odd number, which seems unnecessary. Otherwise we are saying something like:

"You must use an odd number, and by the way zero is invalid".

Gary D. Gregory commented on LANG-804:
--------------------------------------

If you remove the  == 0 checks, you'd get a  / 0 error on 0 input on the % 2 checks. The current code is pretty simple and straightforward. What would be an alt impl?

---------------------------

More to the point, perhaps the ctor should check for positive numbers.

Does it make sense for the user to provide negative numbers?
