\section{Important bits from the \texttt{Object} class}
\begin{description}
\methoditem{boolean equals(Object obj)}
Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
Usually, you override \texttt{equals()} iff your class is immutable and it hasn't already been overridden by a superclass.
Rules \texttt{equals()} must abide by:
\begin{itemize}
\item Reflexivity: \texttt{x.equals(x)}.
\item Symmetry: \texttt{x.equals(y) == y.equals(x)}.
\item Transitivity: \texttt{x.equals(y) \&\& y.equals(z) == x.equals(z)}.
\item \texttt{x.equals(null)} is false.
\end{itemize}
If you override \texttt{equals()}, you must also override \texttt{hashCode()}.
\methoditem{int hashCode()}
Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by HashMap.
The general contract of hashCode is:
\begin{itemize}
\item Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in 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.
\item If two objects are equal according to the equals(Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
\item It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the equals(java.lang.Object) method, then calling the 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.
\end{itemize}
\methoditem{String toString()}
Returns a string representation of the object.
\end{description}
\section{Good implementation of \texttt{hashCode()}}
\subsection{General case}
\def\fsubi{\texttt{f\sub{i}}}
\def\hsubi{\texttt{h\sub{i}}}
First, for every field \fsubi\ (\texttt{f\sub{0}} is the first field and so on), calculate its hash code \hsubi using
\begin{equation*}
\mathtt{h_i} = \begin{cases}
\text{\texttt{(\fsubi\ ?\ 1\ :\ 0)}} & \text{if \fsubi\ is a \texttt{boolean}}\\
\text{\texttt{(int)\ \fsubi}} & \text{if \fsubi\ is a \texttt{byte}, \texttt{char}, \texttt{short}, \texttt{long}, or \texttt{int}}\\
\text{\texttt{Float.floatToIntBits(\fsubi)}} & \text{if \fsubi\ is a \texttt{float} or \texttt{double}}\\
\text{\texttt{\fsubi\ ==\ null\ ?\ 0 :\ \fsubi.hashCode()}} & \text{if \fsubi\ is a \texttt{Object}}\\
\text{\texttt{Arrays.hashCode(\fsubi)}} & \text{if \fsubi\ is an array}.
\end{cases}
\end{equation*}
To calculate the hash code, we use $\mathtt{hashCode} = \sum_\mathtt{i} \mathtt{h_i}31^\mathtt{i}$.
\subsection{Example implementation}
\begin{verbatim}
public class Employee {
int employeeId;
String name;
Department dept;
// ...
public int hashCode() {
return employeeId + name.hashCode() * 31 + dept.hashCode() * 31 ^ 2;
}
}
\end{verbatim}

\section{Important bits from the \texttt{Comparable<T>} interface}
\begin{description}
\methoditem{int compareTo(T o)}
Compares this object with the specified object for order. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.
The implementor must ensure \texttt{sgn(x.compareTo(y)) == -sgn(y.compareTo(x))} for all \texttt{x} and \texttt{y}. (This implies that \texttt{x.compareTo(y)} must throw an exception iff \texttt{y.compareTo(x)} throws an exception.)
The implementor must also ensure that the relation is transitive: (\texttt{x.compareTo(y)>0 \&\& y.compareTo(z)>0}) implies \texttt{x.compareTo(z)>0}.
Finally, the implementor must ensure that \texttt{x.compareTo(y)==0} implies that \texttt{sgn(x.compareTo(z)) == sgn(y.compareTo(z))}, for all \texttt{z}.
It is strongly recommended, but not strictly required that \texttt{(x.compareTo(y)==0) == (x.equals(y))}. Generally speaking, any class that implements the Comparable interface and violates this condition should clearly indicate this fact. The recommended language is "Note: this class has a natural ordering that is inconsistent with equals."
In the foregoing description, the notation \texttt{sgn(expression)} designates the mathematical signum function, which is defined to return one of $-1$, 0, or 1 according to whether the value of expression is negative, zero or positive.
