Compares the receiver object (this
) with the argument object (that
) for equivalence.
Compares the receiver object (this
) with the argument object (that
) for equivalence.
Any implementation of this method should be an equivalence relation:
x
of type Any
, x.equals(x)
should return true
.x
and y
of type Any
, x.equals(y)
should return true
if and
only if y.equals(x)
returns true
.x
, y
, and z
of type Any
if x.equals(y)
returns true
and
y.equals(z)
returns true
, then x.equals(z)
should return true
.If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation.
Additionally, when overriding this method it is usually necessary to override hashCode
to ensure that
objects which are "equal" (o1.equals(o2)
returns true
) hash to the same scala.Int.
(o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)
).
the object to compare against this object for equality.
true
if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false
otherwise.
