Your question is Hashing, equals, and hashCode. Take a moment with it on the right.

Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).

You need to log in / sign up to chat or submit.

Problem

Explain hashing, hashCode, and equals, and why you would override them. What is a collision?
