Naming a method ``++tostring++``, ``++hashcode++`` or ``++equal++`` is either:
|
|
|
|
|
|
* A bug in the form of a typo. Overriding ``++toString++``, ``++Object.hashCode()++`` (note the camelCasing) or ``++Object.equals++`` (note the 's' on the end) was meant, and the application does not behave as expected.
|
|
* Done on purpose. The name however will confuse every other developer, who may not notice the naming difference, or who will think it is a bug.
|
|
|
|
In both cases, the method should be renamed.

== Noncompliant Code Example
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
public int hashcode() { /* ... */ } // Noncompliant
|
|
|
|
public String tostring() { /* ... */ } // Noncompliant
|
|
|
|
public boolean equal(Object obj) { /* ... */ } // Noncompliant
|
|

|
== Compliant Solution
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
@Override
|
|
public int hashCode() { /* ... */ }
|
|
|
|
@Override
|
|
public String toString() { /* ... */ }
|
|
|
|
@Override
|
|
public boolean equals(Object obj) { /* ... */ }
