While ``++hashCode++`` and ``++toString++`` are available on arrays, they are largely useless. ``++hashCode++`` returns the array's "identity hash code", and ``++toString++`` returns nearly the same value. Neither method's output actually reflects the array's contents. Instead, you should pass the array to the relevant static ``++Arrays++`` method.


== Noncompliant Code Example

----
public static void main( String[] args )
{
    String argStr = args.toString(); // Noncompliant
    int argHash = args.hashCode(); // Noncompliant
----


== Compliant Solution

----
public static void main( String[] args )
{
    String argStr = Arrays.toString(args);
    int argHash = Arrays.hashCode(args);
----
