Let’s say that you have overridden an object’s equals() and hashCode() methods, so that they use the object’s fields.
How you do you check if two references are to the same object, ala the stock equals() method?
Use
==on objects to perform identity comparison.That is what the default implementation of
equals()does, but one normally overridesequals()to serve as an ‘equivalent content’ check.
