How does a Java Arraylist contains() method evaluate objects?
- by mvid
Say i create one object and add it to my ArrayList. If I then create another object with exactly the same constructor input, will the contain() method evaluate the two objects to be the same? Assume the constructor doesn't do anything funny with the input, and the variables stored in both objects are identical.
ArrayList<Thing> basket = new ArrayList<Thing>();
Thing thing = new Thing(100);
basket.add(thing);
Thing another = new Thing(100);
basket.contains(another); // true or false?
