Public Methods

public final boolean equals (Object obj)

Compares two Subset objects for equality. This method returns true if and only if this and the argument refer to the same object; since this method is final, this guarantee holds for all subclasses.

Parameters
obj the reference object with which to compare.
Returns
  • true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

public final int hashCode ()

Returns the standard hash code as defined by the hashCode() method. This method is final in order to ensure that the equals and hashCode methods will be consistent in all subclasses.

Returns
  • a hash code value for this object.

public final String toString ()

Returns the name of this subset.

Returns
  • a string representation of the object.
