java equals重写原则_java中为何重写equals时必须重写hashCode方法详解

前言

大家都知道，equals和hashcode是java.lang.Object类的两个重要的方法，在实际应用中常常需要重写这两个方法，但至于为什么重写这两个方法很多人都搞不明白。

在上一篇博文Java中equals和==的区别中介绍了Object类的equals方法，并且也介绍了我们可在重写equals方法，本章我们来说一下为什么重写equals方法的时候也要重写hashCode方法。

先让我们来看看Object类源码

/**

* 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 native int hashCode();

/**

* 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：是一个native方法，返回的是对象的内存地址，

equals：对于基本数据类型，==比较的是两个变量的值。对于引用对象，==比较的是两个对象的地址。

接下来我们看下hashCode的注释

1.在 Java 应用程序执行期间，在对同一对象多次调用 hashCode 方法时，必须一致地返回相同的整数，前提是将对象进行 equals 比较时所用的信息没有被修改。

从某一应用程序的一次执行到同一应用程序的另一次执行，该整数无需保持一致。

2.如果根据 equals(Object) 方法，两个对象是相等的，那么对这两个对象中的每个对象调用 hashCode 方法都必须生成相同的整数结果。

3.如果根据 equals(java.lang.Object) 方法，两个对象不相等，那么两个对象不一定必须产生不同的整数结果。

但是，程序员应该意识到，为不相等的对象生成不同整数结果可以提高哈希表的性能。

从hashCode的注释中我们看到，hashCode方法在定义时做出了一些常规协定，即

1，当obj1.equals(obj2)为 true 时，obj1.hashCode() == obj2.hashCode()

2，当obj1.equals(obj2)为 false 时，obj1.hashCode() != obj2.hashCode()

hashcode是用于散列数据的快速存取，如利用HashSet/HashMap/Hashtable类来存储数据时，都是根据存储对象的hashcode值来进行判断是否相同的。如果我们将对象的equals方法重写而不重写hashcode，当我们再次new一个新的对象的时候，equals方法返回的是true，但是hashCode方法返回的就不一样了，如果需要将这些对象存储到结合中(比如：Set，Map ...)的时候就违背了原有集合的原则，下面让我们通过一段代码看下。

/**

* @see Person

* @param args

*/

public static void main(String[] args)

{

HashMap map = new HashMap();

Person p = new Person("jack",22,"男");

Person p1 = new Person("jack",22,"男");

System.out.println("p的hashCode:"+p.hashCode());

System.out.println("p1的hashCode:"+p1.hashCode());

System.out.println(p.equals(p1));

System.out.println(p == p1);

map.put(p,888);

map.put(p1,888);

map.forEach((key,val)->{

System.out.println(key);

System.out.println(val);

});

}

equals和hashCode方法的都不重写

public class Person

{

private String name;

private int age;

private String sex;

Person(String name,int age,String sex){

this.name = name;

this.age = age;

this.sex = sex;

}

}

p的hashCode:356573597

p1的hashCode:1735600054

false

false

只重写equals方法

public class Person

{

private String name;

private int age;

private String sex;

Person(String name,int age,String sex){

this.name = name;

this.age = age;

this.sex = sex;

}

@Override public boolean equals(Object obj)

{

if(obj instanceof Person){

Person person = (Person)obj;

return name.equals(person.name);

}

return super.equals(obj);

}

}

p的hashCode:356573597

p1的hashCode:1735600054

true

false

com.blueskyli.练习.Person@677327b6

com.blueskyli.练习.Person@1540e19d

equals和hashCode方法都重写

public class Person

{

private String name;

private int age;

private String sex;

Person(String name,int age,String sex){

this.name = name;

this.age = age;

this.sex = sex;

}

@Override public boolean equals(Object obj)

{

if(obj instanceof Person){

Person person = (Person)obj;

return name.equals(person.name);

}

return super.equals(obj);

}

@Override public int hashCode()

{

return name.hashCode();

}

}

p的hashCode:3254239

p1的hashCode:3254239

true

false

我们知道map是不允许存在相同的key的，由上面的代码可以知道，如果不重写equals和hashCode方法的话会使得你在使用map的时候出现与预期不一样的结果，具体equals和hashCode如何重写，里面的逻辑如何实现需要根据现实当中的业务来规定。

总结：

1，两个对象，用==比较比较的是地址，需采用equals方法(可根据需求重写)比较。

2，重写equals()方法就重写hashCode()方法。

3，一般相等的对象都规定有相同的hashCode。

4，String类重写了equals和hashCode方法，比较的是值。

5，重写hashcode方法为了将数据存入HashSet/HashMap/Hashtable(可以参考源码有助于理解)类时进行比较
