All Superinterfaces:: Comparable<CharValue>, Mirror, PrimitiveValue, Value

public interface CharValue extends PrimitiveValue, Comparable<CharValue>

Provides access to a primitive char value in the target VM.

Since:: 1.3

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)`	Compares the specified Object with this CharValue for equality.
`int`	`hashCode()`	Returns the hash code value for this CharValue.
`char`	`value()`	Returns this CharValue as a `char`.

Methods declared in interface Comparable

Method Details

value

char value()

Returns this CharValue as a char.

Returns:: the char mirrored by this object.

equals

boolean equals(Object obj)

Compares the specified Object with this CharValue for equality.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - the reference object with which to compare.

Returns:

true if the Object is a CharValue and if applying "==" to the two mirrored primitives would evaluate to true; false otherwise.

See Also:

hashCode

int hashCode()

Returns the hash code value for this CharValue.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

the integer hash code
