Object class-

It is the parent class of all the classes in java.


It is called as topmost class of java which is present in java.lang package.
Every class in Java is directly or indirectly derived from the object class. If a Class
does not extend any other class then it is direct child class of object.
There are different methods of object class are as follows.
 public final Class getClass()
 public int hashCode()
 public boolean equals(Object obj)
 protected Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException
 public String toString()
 public final void notify()
 public final void notifyAll()
 public final void wait()
 public final void wait(long timeout)
 public final void wait(long timeout, int nanos)
 protected void finalize()throws Throwable

1. Public final Class getClass()-


This class is used to get the metadata of class.

package com.test;
public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Test test = new Test();


System.out.println(test.getClass().getName());

System.out.println(test.getClass().getSimpleName());
}
}
Output-
com.test.Test
Test

2. public int hashCode()-


For every object unique number is generated by JVM called as hashcode.
It does not represent object of address then what is the use of hashcode. it will
store into bucket based on hashcode.

Note- The most of java native method are written in c or c++ that why not able
show the body.
Example

package com.test;
public class Test1 {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Test1 test2 = new Test1();


Test1 test3 = new Test1();
System.out.println(test2.hashCode());
System.out.println(test3.hashCode());
}
}
Output
2018699554
1311053135

1. public boolean equals (Object obj)-


It compares the given object to this object. There are two equals method, this
equals method is used to check the address of string not contents.

Example-1

package com.test;

public class Test3 {

int empId;
String empName;

public static void main(String[] args) {

Test3 test3 = new Test3();


test3.empId = 1;
test3.empName = "ashok";

Test3 test4 = new Test3();


test4.empId = 2;
test4.empName = "ram";

System.out.println(test3.equals(test4));
}
}
Output
False

package com.test;

public class Test3 {

int empId;
String empName;

public static void main(String[] args) {

Test3 test3 = new Test3();


test3.empId = 1;
test3.empName = "ashok";

Test3 test4 = new Test3();


test4.empId = 2;
test4.empName = "ram";

test3 = test4;
System.out.println(test3.equals(test4));
}
}
Output
True

2. protected Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException-


It creates and returns the exact copy (clone) of this object.
Example-1

package com.test;

//clone method- create copy of objects


public class Test4 implements Cloneable {

int x;

public static void main(String[] args) throws


CloneNotSupportedException {

Test4 test4 = new Test4();


test4.x = 50;

System.out.println("first object is>>" +


test4.x);
Object test5 = test4.clone();

System.out.println("second object is>>" +


test5.toString());

}
}
Output
first object is>>50
second object is>>com.test.Test4@7852e922

Here, second output line, we will get address instead of value. To solve this issue,
we should override toString method.

Example-2
package com.test;

//clone method- create copy of objects


public class Test4 implements Cloneable {

int x;

public static void main(String[] args) throws


CloneNotSupportedException {

Test4 test4 = new Test4();


test4.x = 50;

System.out.println("first object is>>" +


test4.x);
Object test5 = test4.clone();

System.out.println("second object is>>" +


test5.toString());

@Override
public String toString() {
return "Test4 [x=" + x + "]";
}
}
Output
first object is>>50
second object is>>Test4 [x=50]

3. public String toString() –


It returns the string representation of this object.

package com.test;

public class Employee {

int id;
String employeeName;
String employeeCity;
@Override
public String toString() {
return "Employee [id=" + id + ",
employeeName=" + employeeName + ", employeeCity=" +
employeeCity + "]";
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

Employee employee = new Employee();


employee.id = 10;
employee.employeeName = "ajay";
employee.employeeCity = "pune";

System.out.println(employee);
}
}
Output
Employee [id=10, employeeName=ajay, employeeCity=pune]

public final void notify()-


It wakes up single thread, waiting on this object's monitor.

public final void notifyAll()-


It wakes up all the threads, waiting on this object's monitor.

public final void wait(long timeout)throws InterruptedException()-


It causes the current thread to wait for the specified milliseconds, until
another thread notifies (invokes notify() or notifyAll() method).

public final void wait(long timeout,int nanos)throws InterruptedException-


It causes the current thread to wait for the specified milliseconds and
nanoseconds, until another thread notifies (invokes notify() or notifyAll() method).

public final void wait()throws InterruptedException


It causes the current thread to wait, until another thread notifies (invokes
notify() or notifyAll() method).

protected void finalize()throws Throwable


It is invoked by the garbage collector before object is being garbage
collected.
