这两个方法都在Object类中定义。两者都是最简单的实现。所以当你需要你想给这些方法添加更多的实现时你就可以在你的类中重写。

对于对象中的equals()方法只检查它在引用上的相等性。如果你也需要比较它的状态，那么你可以像在String类中那样重写它。

它在使用值对象时很有用。以下摘自Portland Pattern Repository:

Examples of value objects are things like numbers, dates, monies and strings. Usually, they are small objects which are used quite widely. Their identity is based on their state rather than on their object identity. This way, you can have multiple copies of the same conceptual value object. So I can have multiple copies of an object that represents the date 16 Jan 1998. Any of these copies will be equal to each other. For a small object such as this, it is often easier to create new ones and move them around rather than rely on a single object to represent the date. A value object should always override .equals() in Java (or = in Smalltalk). (Remember to override .hashCode() as well.)

class A {
    int i;
    // Hashing Algorithm
    if even number return 0 else return 1
    // Equals Algorithm,
    if i = this.i return true else false
}

put('key'，'value')将使用hashCode()计算哈希值来确定 桶，并使用equals()方法查找该值是否已经 出现在桶里。如果不是，它将被添加，否则它将被替换为当前值 get('key')将使用hashCode()首先找到条目(桶) equals()来查找Entry中的值

如果两者都被覆盖，

地图<A>

Map.Entry 1 --> 1,3,5,...
Map.Entry 2 --> 2,4,6,...

If =没有被覆盖

地图<A>

Map.Entry 1 --> 1,3,5,...,1,3,5,... // Duplicate values as equals not overridden
Map.Entry 2 --> 2,4,6,...,2,4,..

如果hashCode没有被覆盖

地图<A>

Map.Entry 1 --> 1
Map.Entry 2 --> 2
Map.Entry 3 --> 3
Map.Entry 4 --> 1
Map.Entry 5 --> 2
Map.Entry 6 --> 3 // Same values are Stored in different hasCodes violates Contract 1
So on...

HashCode等价契约

根据equal方法，两个相等的键应该生成相同的hashCode 生成相同hashCode的两个key不需要相等(在上面的例子中，所有偶数生成相同的hashCode)

The methods equals and hashcode are defined in the object class. By default if the equals method returns true, then the system will go further and check the value of the hash code. If the hash code of the 2 objects is also same only then the objects will be considered as same. So if you override only equals method, then even though the overridden equals method indicates 2 objects to be equal , the system defined hashcode may not indicate that the 2 objects are equal. So we need to override hash code as well.

考虑在一个桶中收集所有黑色的球。你的工作是像下面这样给这些球上色，并将其用于适当的游戏，

对于网球-黄色，红色。 板球-白色

现在水桶有三种颜色的球黄色，红色和白色。只有你知道哪个颜色适合哪个游戏。

给球上色-哈希。 选择比赛的球-平等。

如果你给球上色，然后有人选了板球或网球，他们不会介意颜色的!!
