Method Detail

equals

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.

hashCode

public final int hashCode()

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

toString

public final String toString()

Returns the name of this subset.
