Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object x)
Compares the specified object with this entry for equality. Returns true if the given object is also a map entry and the two entries represent the same mapping. More formally, two entries e1 and e2 represent the same mapping if
      (e1.getKey()==null ?
                         e2.getKey()==null : e1.getKey().equals(e2.getKey()))  &&
      (e1.getValue()==null ?
                         e2.getValue()==null : e1.getValue().equals(e2.getValue()))
 
This ensures that the equals method works properly across different implementations of the Map.Entry interface.
Specified by:
equals in interface java.util.Map.Entry
Overrides:
equals in class java.lang.Object
Parameters:
x - The object to compare against
Returns:
True if the given object is equal to this Map.Entry object.

getKey

public java.lang.Object getKey()
Answer the key for the entry
Specified by:
getKey in interface java.util.Map.Entry
Returns:
The key object

getValue

public java.lang.Object getValue()
Answer the value for the entry
Specified by:
getValue in interface java.util.Map.Entry
Returns:
The value object

setValue

public java.lang.Object setValue(java.lang.Object value)
                          throws java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
Set the value, which writes through to the map. Not implemented.
Specified by:
setValue in interface java.util.Map.Entry

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Returns the hash code value for this map entry. The hash code of a map entry e is defined to be: (e.getKey()==null ? 0 : e.getKey().hashCode()) ^ (e.getValue()==null ? 0 : e.getValue().hashCode()) This ensures that e1.equals(e2) implies that e1.hashCode()==e2.hashCode() for any two Entries e1 and e2, as required by the general contract of Object.hashCode.
Specified by:
hashCode in interface java.util.Map.Entry
Overrides:
hashCode in class java.lang.Object
