Method Detail

Overrides:
equals in class Object
Tags copied from class: Object
Parameters:
obj - the reference object with which to compare.
Returns:
true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

hashCode

Overrides:
hashCode in class Object
Tags copied from class: Object
Returns:
a hash code value for this object.
See Also:
Object.equals(java.lang.Object), Hashtable
