In other words, 0N/A * returns true if the specified object is an instance of the same 0N/A * annotation type as this instance, all of whose members are equal 0N/A * to the corresponding member of this annotation, as defined below: 0N/A * <li>Two corresponding primitive typed members whose values are 0N/A * <tt>x</tt> and <tt>y</tt> are considered equal if <tt>x == y</tt>, 0N/A * unless their type is <tt>float</tt> or <tt>double</tt>. 0N/A * <li>Two corresponding <tt>float</tt> members whose values 0N/A * are <tt>x</tt> and <tt>y</tt> are considered equal if 0N/A * <tt>Float.valueOf(x).equals(Float.valueOf(y))</tt>. 0N/A * (Unlike the <tt>==</tt> operator, NaN is considered equal 0N/A * to itself, and <tt>0.0f</tt> unequal to <tt>-0.0f</tt>.) 0N/A * <li>Two corresponding <tt>double</tt> members whose values 0N/A * are <tt>x</tt> and <tt>y</tt> are considered equal if 0N/A * <tt>Double.valueOf(x).equals(Double.valueOf(y))</tt>. 0N/A * (Unlike the <tt>==</tt> operator, NaN is considered equal 0N/A * to itself, and <tt>0.0</tt> unequal to <tt>-0.0</tt>.) 0N/A * <li>Two corresponding <tt>String</tt>, <tt>Class</tt>, enum, or 0N/A * annotation typed members whose values are <tt>x</tt> and <tt>y</tt> 0N/A * are considered equal if <tt>x.equals(y)</tt>. (Note that this 0N/A * definition is recursive for annotation typed members.) 0N/A * <li>Two corresponding array typed members <tt>x</tt> and <tt>y</tt> 0N/A * are considered equal if <tt>Arrays.equals(x, y)</tt>, for the 0N/A * appropriate overloading of {@link java.util.Arrays#equals}. 0N/A * @return true if the specified object represents an annotation 0N/A * that is logically equivalent to this one, otherwise false 0N/A * Returns the hash code of this annotation, as defined below: 0N/A * <p>The hash code of an annotation is the sum of the hash codes 0N/A * of its members (including those with default values), as defined 0N/A * The hash code of an annotation member is (127 times the hash code 0N/A * of the member-name as computed by {@link String#hashCode()}) XOR 0N/A * the hash code of the member-value, as defined below: 0N/A * <p>The hash code of a member-value depends on its type: 0N/A * <li>The hash code of a primitive value <tt><i>v</i></tt> is equal to 0N/A * <tt><i>WrapperType</i>.valueOf(<i>v</i>).hashCode()</tt>, where 0N/A * <tt><i>WrapperType</i></tt> is the wrapper type corresponding 0N/A * to the primitive type of <tt><i>v</i></tt> ({@link Byte}, 0N/A * {@link Character}, {@link Double}, {@link Float}, {@link Integer}, 0N/A * {@link Long}, {@link Short}, or {@link Boolean}). 0N/A * <li>The hash code of a string, enum, class, or annotation member-value 0N/A I <tt><i>v</i></tt> is computed as by calling 0N/A * <tt><i>v</i>.hashCode()</tt>. (In the case of annotation 0N/A * member values, this is a recursive definition.) 0N/A * <li>The hash code of an array member-value is computed by calling 0N/A * the appropriate overloading of 0N/A * {@link java.util.Arrays#hashCode(long[]) Arrays.hashCode} 0N/A * on the value. (There is one overloading for each primitive 0N/A * type, and one for object reference types.) 0N/A * @return the hash code of this annotation 0N/A * Returns a string representation of this annotation. The details 0N/A * of the representation are implementation-dependent, but the following 0N/A * may be regarded as typical: 0N/A * @com.acme.util.Name(first=Alfred, middle=E., last=Neuman) 0N/A * @return a string representation of this annotation 0N/A * Returns the annotation type of this annotation.
