  • Understanding the workings of equals and hashCode in a HashMap

    - by andandandand
    I have this test code: import java.util.*; class MapEQ { public static void main(String[] args) { Map<ToDos, String> m = new HashMap<ToDos, String>(); ToDos t1 = new ToDos("Monday"); ToDos t2 = new ToDos("Monday"); ToDos t3 = new ToDos("Tuesday"); m.put(t1, "doLaundry"); m.put(t2, "payBills"); m.put(t3, "cleanAttic"); System.out.println(m.size()); } } class ToDos{ String day; ToDos(String d) { day = d; } public boolean equals(Object o) { return ((ToDos)o).day == this.day; } // public int hashCode() { return 9; } } When // public int hashCode() { return 9; } is uncommented m.size() returns 2, when it's left commented it returns three. Why?
