A method that should be called from every well-designed equals method that is open to be overridden in a subclass
A method that should be called from every well-designed equals method that is open to be overridden in a subclass. See Programming in Scala, Chapter 28 for discussion and design.
The equality method defined in AnyRef

Returns a hash code value for the object
Returns a hash code value for the object.
The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent.
Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash
codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)
) yet not be
equal (o1.equals(o2)
returns false
). A
degenerate implementation could always return 0
.
However, it is required that if two objects are equal
(o1.equals(o2)
returns true
) that they
have identical hash codes
(o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)
). Therefore, when
overriding this method, be sure to verify that the behavior is
consistent with the equals
method.
return k for a product A(x_1,
return k for a product A(x_1,...,x_k)
for a product A(x_1,
for a product A(x_1,...,x_k)
, returns x_(n+1)
for 0 <= n < k
An iterator that returns all fields of this product
An iterator that returns all fields of this product
By default the empty string
By default the empty string. Implementations may override this method in order to prepend a string prefix to the result of the toString methods.
Returns a string representation of the object
Returns a string representation of the object.
The default representation is platform dependent.
