equals(),hashCode(),compareTo()

[sreedhar Lackka]

Hi All,

Thanks a lot in advance.

I am pretty much aware about equals(),hashCode(),compareTo() methods. But still I need to read and understand the usage and importance of these methods. Could any one give some explanation about these with examples.

Regards,
Sree

The full contract with usage hints can be found in the JavaDocs: java.lang.Object, java.lang.Comparable.
