## Overview
We can get a hash value (integer value) of a string using the **`hash` method**. The hash values of two strings that are the same will also be the same. 
 
## Syntax
```ruby
str.hash
```
## Parameters
**`str`**: This is the string that calls the `hash` method. It is the string whose hash value we want.

## Return value
The value returned is an integer that is the hash value of the string.

## Code


# create some strings
str1 = "Edpresso"
str2 = "is"
str3 = "great"

# get the hash values 
a = str1.hash
b = str2.hash
c = str3.hash

# print result
puts a
puts b
puts c

## Explanation
* In lines 2-4, we create a few string variables and initialize them with some values.

* In lines 7-9, we call the `hash` method on the strings created. 

* In lines 12-14, we print the results.

As we can see when the code is run, we get the hash value of a string when the `hash` method is called on it.
