I did this test in a HashSet comparision and equals
is not being called
I would like to consider equals when farAway=false (A function to check two point distances)
Full compilable code, you could test it, and tells why equals is not being called in this example.
public class TestClass{
static class Posicion
{
private int x;
private int y;
@Override
public boolean equals(Object obj) {
if (obj == null) {
return false;
}
if (getClass() != obj.getClass()) {
return false;
}
final Posicion other = (Posicion) obj;
if ( farAway(this.x, other.x, this.y, other.y,5)){
return false;
}
return true;
}
@Override
public int hashCode() {
int hash = 7; hash = 59 * hash + this.x; hash = 59 * hash + this.y;
return hash;
}
Posicion(int x0, int y0) {
x=x0;
y=y0;
}
private boolean farAway(int x, int x0, int y, int y0, int i) {
return false;
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
HashSet<Posicion> test=new HashSet<>();
System.out.println("result:"+test.add(new Posicion(1,1)));
System.out.println("result:"+test.add(new Posicion(1,2)));
}
}
EDIT
-Is there a way to force HashSet add to call equals?
