Hi
I am analysing a particular code and have some questions
Code:
public class Point {   
    private final int x;   
    private final int y;   
    public Point(int x, int y) {   
        this.x = x;   
        this.y = y;   
    }   
  
}   
  
import java.util.HashSet;   
import java.util.Set;   
  
public class PointMain {   
    public static void main(String args[]){   
        System.out.println(onUnitCircle(new Point(1, 0)));   
     }   
    // Initialize UnitCircle to contain all Points on the unit circle   
    private static final Set<Point> unitCircle;   
    static {   
        unitCircle = new HashSet<Point>();   
        unitCircle.add(new Point( 1,  0));   
        unitCircle.add(new Point( 0,  1));   
        unitCircle.add(new Point(-1,  0));   
        unitCircle.add(new Point( 0, -1));   
    }   
  
    public static boolean onUnitCircle(Point p) {   
        return unitCircle.contains(p);   
    }   
}
I get a false when i do a contains on a hashset. I am thinking that it should yield true.
The question i had was that without overriding the equals or the hashcode when i store the values in a Hash Set and do a contains i am assuming that it might have the equals and hashcode implemented. Would this be correct then- when i am using the hash set to store my objects the right way to use the contains is that i implement a hashcode and a equals method in object that i am going to do the contains on?

Thanks,
Frank
