  • Method Summary

    Modifier and Type Method Description

  • Method Details

    • computeHashCode

      int computeHashCode​(E object)
      Computes the hashCode of the object as defined by the user.
    • equals

      boolean equals​(E object1, E object2)
      Checks two objects for equality. The equality check can use the objects own equals() method or a custom method defined by the user. It should be consistent with the computeHashCode() method.
