java中正确重写equals方法

hashCode()和equals()方法，定义在Object类中，这个类是所有类的基类，所以所有的java类都继承了这两个方法。

        hashCode()方法用来给对象获取唯一的一个整数。这个整数被存储在HashTable类似的结构中的位置。默认的，Object类的hashCode()方法返回这个对象存储的内存地址的编号。

      重写equals()方法必须要重写hashCode()方法。if two objects are equal,equal objects must produce the same hash code。However, the third point elaborates that unequal objects need not produce distinct hash codes.

Summed up，equal objects must produce the same hash code as long as they are equal, however unequal objects need not produce distinct hash codes.

public class Test
2.	{
3.		private int num;
4.		private String data;
5.
6.		public boolean equals(Object obj)
7.		{
8.			if(this == obj)
9.				return true;
10.			if((obj == null) || (obj.getClass() != this.getClass()))
11.				return false;
12.			// object must be Test at this point
13.			Test test = (Test)obj;
14.			return num == test.num &&
15.			(data == test.data || (data != null && data.equals(test.data)));
16.		}
17.
18.		public int hashCode()
19.		{
20.			int hash = 7;
21.			hash = 31 * hash + num;
22.			hash = 31 * hash + (null == data ? 0 : data.hashCode());
23.			return hash;
24.		}
25.
26.		// other methods
27.	}
