29 * This class consists of {@code static} utility methods for operating
30 * on objects. These utilities include {@code null}-safe or {@code

32 * returning a string for an object, and comparing two objects.

42 * Returns {@code true} if the arguments are equal to each other
43 * and {@code false} otherwise.
44 * Consequently, if both arguments are {@code null}, {@code true}
45 * is returned and if exactly one argument is {@code null}, {@code
46 * false} is returned. Otherwise, equality is determined by using
47 * the {@link Object#equals equals} method of the first
51 * @param b an object to be compared with {@code a} for equality

57 return (a == b) || (a != null && a.equals(b));
61 * Returns {@code true} if the arguments are deeply equal to each other
62 * and {@code false} otherwise.
64 * Two {@code null} values are deeply equal. If both arguments are
65 * arrays, the algorithm in {@link Arrays#deepEquals(Object[],
66 * Object[]) Arrays.deepEquals} is used to determine equality.
67 * Otherwise, equality is determined by using the {@link
68 * Object#equals equals} method of the first argument.

101 * code is generated as if all the input values were placed into an
102 * array, and that array were hashed by calling {@link
103 * Arrays#hashCode(Object[])}.
105 * <p>This method is useful for implementing {@link
106 * Object#hashCode()} on objects containing multiple fields. For
107 * example, if an object that has three fields, {@code x}, {@code
108 * y}, and {@code z}, one could write:
111 * @Override public int hashCode() {
112 * return Objects.hash(x, y, z);
