arrays

두 가지 방법의 구현을 살펴보고 깊이 이해하십시오.

array1.equals(array2);

/**
 * Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
 * <p>
 * The {@code equals} method implements an equivalence relation
 * on non-null object references:
 * <ul>
 * <li>It is <i>reflexive</i>: for any non-null reference value
 *     {@code x}, {@code x.equals(x)} should return
 *     {@code true}.
 * <li>It is <i>symmetric</i>: for any non-null reference values
 *     {@code x} and {@code y}, {@code x.equals(y)}
 *     should return {@code true} if and only if
 *     {@code y.equals(x)} returns {@code true}.
 * <li>It is <i>transitive</i>: for any non-null reference values
 *     {@code x}, {@code y}, and {@code z}, if
 *     {@code x.equals(y)} returns {@code true} and
 *     {@code y.equals(z)} returns {@code true}, then
 *     {@code x.equals(z)} should return {@code true}.
 * <li>It is <i>consistent</i>: for any non-null reference values
 *     {@code x} and {@code y}, multiple invocations of
 *     {@code x.equals(y)} consistently return {@code true}
 *     or consistently return {@code false}, provided no
 *     information used in {@code equals} comparisons on the
 *     objects is modified.
 * <li>For any non-null reference value {@code x},
 *     {@code x.equals(null)} should return {@code false}.
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * The {@code equals} method for class {@code Object} implements
 * the most discriminating possible equivalence relation on objects;
 * that is, for any non-null reference values {@code x} and
 * {@code y}, this method returns {@code true} if and only
 * if {@code x} and {@code y} refer to the same object
 * ({@code x == y} has the value {@code true}).
 * <p>
 * Note that it is generally necessary to override the {@code hashCode}
 * method whenever this method is overridden, so as to maintain the
 * general contract for the {@code hashCode} method, which states
 * that equal objects must have equal hash codes.
 *
 * @param   obj   the reference object with which to compare.
 * @return  {@code true} if this object is the same as the obj
 *          argument; {@code false} otherwise.
 * @see     #hashCode()
 * @see     java.util.HashMap

Object o1 = new Object();
Object o2 = new Object();
Object[] a1 = { o1, o2 };
Object[] a2 = { o1, o2 };
System.out.println(a1.equals(a2)); // prints false
System.out.println(Arrays.equals(a1, a2)); // prints true
