Method combineOrdered

output/java_guava/1.4.16/Hashing.java:613–626

Returns a hash code, having the same bit length as each of the input hash codes, that combines the information of these hash codes in an ordered fashion. That is, whenever two equal hash codes are produced by two calls to this method, it is as likely as possible that each was computed from th
