public Class ArrayElement

Overrides java.lang.Object.equals.

Doc from java.lang.Object.equals.

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

• It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
• It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
• It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
• It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
• For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

An equivalence relation partitions the elements it operates on into equivalence classes; all the members of an equivalence class are equal to each other. Members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other, at least for some purposes.

Parameters

obj:Object

the reference object with which to compare.

Returns:boolean

true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

Annotations

@Override

Implements java.lang.reflect.TypeVariable.getAnnotatedBounds.

Doc from java.lang.reflect.TypeVariable.getAnnotatedBounds.

Returns an array of AnnotatedType objects that represent the use of types to denote the upper bounds of the type parameter represented by this TypeVariable. The order of the objects in the array corresponds to the order of the bounds in the declaration of the type parameter. Note that if no upper bound is explicitly declared, the upper bound is unannotated Object.

Returns:AnnotatedType[]

an array of objects representing the upper bound(s) of the type variable

Annotations

@Override

Implements java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement.getAnnotation.

Doc from java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement.getAnnotation.

Returns this element's annotation for the specified type if such an annotation is present, else null.

Parameters

<T>

the type of the annotation to query for and return if present

annotationClass:Class<T>

the Class object corresponding to the annotation type

Returns:T

this element's annotation for the specified annotation type if present on this element, else null

Annotations

@Override

Implements java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement.getAnnotations.

Doc from java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement.getAnnotations.

Returns annotations that are present on this element. If there are no annotations present on this element, the return value is an array of length 0. The caller of this method is free to modify the returned array; it will have no effect on the arrays returned to other callers.

Returns:Annotation[]

annotations present on this element

Annotations

@Override

Implements java.lang.reflect.TypeVariable.getBounds.

Doc from java.lang.reflect.TypeVariable.getBounds.

Returns an array of Type objects representing the upper bound(s) of this type variable. If no upper bound is explicitly declared, the upper bound is Object.

For each upper bound B:

• if B is a parameterized type or a type variable, it is created, (see ParameterizedType for the details of the creation process for parameterized types).
• Otherwise, B is resolved.

Returns:Type[]

an array of Types representing the upper bound(s) of this type variable

Annotations

@Override

Implements java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement.getDeclaredAnnotations.

Doc from java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement.getDeclaredAnnotations.

Returns annotations that are directly present on this element. This method ignores inherited annotations. If there are no annotations directly present on this element, the return value is an array of length 0. The caller of this method is free to modify the returned array; it will have no effect on the arrays returned to other callers.

Returns:Annotation[]

annotations directly present on this element

Annotations

@Override

Implements java.lang.reflect.TypeVariable.getGenericDeclaration.

Doc from java.lang.reflect.TypeVariable.getGenericDeclaration.

Returns the GenericDeclaration object representing the generic declaration declared for this type variable.

Returns:Class<?>

the generic declaration declared for this type variable.

Annotations

@Override

Implements java.lang.reflect.TypeVariable.getName.

Doc from java.lang.reflect.TypeVariable.getName.

Returns the name of this type variable, as it occurs in the source code.

Returns:String

the name of this type variable, as it appears in the source code

Annotations

@Override

Overrides java.lang.Object.hashCode.

Doc from java.lang.Object.hashCode.

Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by java.util.HashMap.

The general contract of hashCode is:

• Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
• If two objects are equal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
• It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.

Returns:int

a hash code value for this object.

Annotations

@Override

Overrides java.lang.Object.toString.

Doc from java.lang.Object.toString.

Returns a string representation of the object.

Returns:String

a string representation of the object.
