but thatâs an error, I think. a collection has to have always same hash⦠no matter its size (because is not an array) and no matter his elements.

You simply don't modify _objects_ which are used as keys in hashed collections. Or if you do so, you'll have to deal with the consequences yourself.

Hi,
Can anyone explain me how this is correct?
Collection>>#hash "Answer an integer hash value for the receiver such that, -- the hash value of an unchanged object is constant over time, and -- two equal objects have equal hash values"
| hash |
hash := self species hash. self size <= 10 ifTrue: [self do: [:elem | hash := hash bitXor: elem hash]]. ^hash bitXor: self size hash
I mean⦠a hash that changes when I add elements to the collection⦠how can this work?
