The hash function in Java, used by HashMap and HashSet, is provided by the Object.hashCode() method. Since every class in Java inherits from Object, every object has a hash function. A class can override the default implementation of hashCode() to provide a custom hash function more in accordance with the properties of the object.
In C#, a class is a reference type while a struct (concept derived from the struct in C language) is a value type. [5] Hence an instance derived from a class definition is an object while an instance derived from a struct definition is said to be a value object (to be precise a struct can be made immutable to represent a value object declaring attributes as readonly [6]).
In C#, class methods, indexers, properties and events can all be overridden. Non-virtual or static methods cannot be overridden. The overridden base method must be virtual, abstract, or override. In addition to the modifiers that are used for method overriding, C# allows the hiding of an inherited property or method.
For instance, in C#, the base method or property can only be overridden in a subclass if it is marked with the virtual, abstract, or override modifier, while in programming languages such as Java, different methods can be called to override other methods. [15] An alternative to overriding is hiding the inherited code.
override - Specifies that a method or property declaration is an override of a virtual member or an implementation of a member of an abstract class. readonly - Declares a field that can only be assigned values as part of the declaration or in a constructor in the same class. unsafe - Specifies an unsafe context, which allows the use of pointers.
Covariant return types have been (partially) allowed in the Java language since the release of JDK5.0, [2] so the following example wouldn't compile on a previous release: // Classes used as return types: class A { } class B extends A { } // "Class B is narrower than class A" // Classes demonstrating method overriding: class C { A getFoo ...
C# and VB.NET like Java have "sealed" and "Not Inheritable" class declaration keywords to prohibit inheritance, and require a subclass to use keyword "override" on overriding methods, [3] the same solution later adopted by Scala. Scala require a subclass to use keyword "override" explicitly in order to override a parent class method. In the ...
C#: object.ReferenceEquals(a, b) a.Equals(b) The == operator defaults to ReferenceEquals, but can be overloaded to perform Equals instead. Common Lisp (eq a b) (equal a b) Erlang: a =:= b: a == b: when a and b are numbers Go: a == b: reflect.DeepEqual(*a, *b) when a and b are pointers Java: a == b: a.equals(b) JavaScript: a === b: a == b
