toString

public String toString()

Returns a string description of the object.

toString in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Use this method for checking equality between the current object and the provided one. The result is true only if the argument is not null, is of the same type and represents the same content.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - the object that we are comparing to

Returns:

returns a boolean that tells if the two objects equal

clone

public Object clone()

Overrides:

clone in class Object

Throws:

CloneNotSupportedException

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hash code value for this instance of the current class. This method is supported as required by the general contract of Object.hashCode, for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by java.util.Hashtable.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

returns the hash code for this instance
