Answer 1

The is no way to get value from the hashcode. See hash-function definition. Hash values are not used to uniquely identify the original value, have values are not unique for each type of the input value.

A hash function may map two or more keys to the same hash value. In many applications, it is desirable to minimize the occurrence of such collisions, which means that the hash function must map the keys to the hash values as evenly as possible.
