instanceof和getClass()的区别 CVT

getClass() will be useful when you want to make sure your instance is NOT a subclass of the class you are comparing with.

一个非常完美的equals方法的写法：

   public boolean equals(Object otherObject)
   {
      // a quick test to see if the objects are identical
      if (this == otherObject) return true;

      // must return false if the explicit parameter is null
      if (otherObject == null) return false;

      // if the classes don't match, they can't be equal
      if (getClass() != otherObject.getClass()) return false;

      // now we know otherObject is a non-null Employee
      Employee other = (Employee) otherObject;

      // test whether the fields have identical values
      return name.equals(other.name) && salary == other.salary && hireDay.equals(other.hireDay);
   }
