equals和hashCode

Java 常用常见知识点

在实际工作中或者面试中总会遇到下面的Java基础：

• [x] equals方法
• [x] hashCode方法
• [ ] 接口和抽象类

equals方法

equals使用的协议或者准则:

1. 自反性 x.equals(x) = true
2. 对称性 x.eqlas(y) = y.equals(x)
3. 传递性 x.eqlas(y) = true && y.equals(z)=true 则 x.equals(z)=true
4. 一致性 每次调用返回的结果应该一致（如果参与equals判断的字段没有改变）
5. x.equals(null) = false
6. x==y 则x.equals(y)=true
7. equal objects must have equal hash codes
8. 如果x.equals(y),如果x和y的类型不一致，应该返回false

    /**
     * Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
     * 

     * The {@code equals} method implements an equivalence relation
     * on non-null object references:
     * 

     * 
It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value
     *     {@code x}, {@code x.equals(x)} should return
     *     {@code true}.
     * 
It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values
     *     {@code x} and {@code y}, {@code x.equals(y)}
     *     should return {@code true} if and only if
     *     {@code y.equals(x)} returns {@code true}.
     * 
It is transitive: for any non-null reference values
     *     {@code x}, {@code y}, and {@code z}, if
     *     {@code x.equals(y)} returns {@code true} and
     *     {@code y.equals(z)} returns {@code true}, then
     *     {@code x.equals(z)} should return {@code true}.
     * 
It is consistent: for any non-null reference values
     *     {@code x} and {@code y}, multiple invocations of
     *     {@code x.equals(y)} consistently return {@code true}
     *     or consistently return {@code false}, provided no
     *     information used in {@code equals} comparisons on the
     *     objects is modified.
     * 
For any non-null reference value {@code x},
     *     {@code x.equals(null)} should return {@code false}.
     * 
     * 

     * The {@code equals} method for class {@code Object} implements
     * the most discriminating possible equivalence relation on objects;
     * that is, for any non-null reference values {@code x} and
     * {@code y}, this method returns {@code true} if and only
     * if {@code x} and {@code y} refer to the same object
     * ({@code x == y} has the value {@code true}).
     * 

     * Note that it is generally necessary to override the {@code hashCode}
     * method whenever this method is overridden, so as to maintain the
     * general contract for the {@code hashCode} method, which states
     * that equal objects must have equal hash codes.
     *
     * @param   obj   the reference object with which to compare.
     * @return  {@code true} if this object is the same as the obj
     *          argument; {@code false} otherwise.
     * @see     #hashCode()
     * @see     java.util.HashMap
     */
    public boolean equals(Object obj) {
        return (this == obj);
    }

hashCode方法

为对象提供一个标示值，常常用在HashMap或者HashTable中，hashCode方法的规则如下:

1. 一个应用程序一个执行片段（线程）中HashCode值应该不变，但是并不需要保证在两个不同的执行片段中HashCode值也要相等
2. equal的两个对象的HashCode值需要保证相等
3. not equal的两个对象的HashCode值不需要保证不相等，但是如果可以不一致能够提高HashMap等的效率
4. Object类的hashCode方法是根据对象在内存中的地址转换出的

    /**
     * Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is
     * supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by
     * {@link java.util.HashMap}.
     * 

     * The general contract of {@code hashCode} is:
     * 

     * 
Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during
     *     an execution of a Java application, the {@code hashCode} method
     *     must consistently return the same integer, provided no information
     *     used in {@code equals} comparisons on the object is modified.
     *     This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an
     *     application to another execution of the same application.
     * 
If two objects are equal according to the {@code equals(Object)}
     *     method, then calling the {@code hashCode} method on each of
     *     the two objects must produce the same integer result.
     * 
It is not required that if two objects are unequal
     *     according to the {@link java.lang.Object#equals(java.lang.Object)}
     *     method, then calling the {@code hashCode} method on each of the
     *     two objects must produce distinct integer results.  However, the
     *     programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results
     *     for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.
     * 
     * 

     * As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by
     * class {@code Object} does return distinct integers for distinct
     * objects. (This is typically implemented by converting the internal
     * address of the object into an integer, but this implementation
     * technique is not required by the
     * Java™ programming language.)
     *
     * @return  a hash code value for this object.
     * @see     java.lang.Object#equals(java.lang.Object)
     * @see     java.lang.System#identityHashCode
     */
    public int hashCode() {
        return identityHashCode(this);
    }
