Public Methods
public final boolean equals (Object obj)
Compares two Subset
objects for equality.
This method returns true
if and only if
this
and the argument refer to the same
object; since this method is final
, this
guarantee holds for all subclasses.
Parameters
obj | the object to compare this instance with. |
---|
Returns
true
if the specified object is equal to thisObject
;false
otherwise.
public final int hashCode ()
Returns the standard hash code as defined by the
Object.hashCode()
method. This method
is final
in order to ensure that the
equals
and hashCode
methods will
be consistent in all subclasses.
Returns
- this object's hash code.
public final String toString ()
Returns the name of this subset.
Returns
- a printable representation of this object.
