    • Constructor Detail

      • CaseInsensitiveString

        public CaseInsensitiveString​(String name)
        Create a new CaseInsensitiveString object.
        Parameters:
        name - The string that will be kept inside this object.

    • Method Detail

      • toString

        public final String toString()
        Converts the CaseInsensitiveString object into a string.
        Overrides:
        toString in class Object
        Returns:
        The string stored inside by the constructor.

      • equals

        public final boolean equals​(Object o)
        Equality operation. This method compares a CaseInsensitiveString object with another or with a Java String. The comparison is case insensitive.
        Overrides:
        equals in class Object
        Parameters:
        o - The Java object to compare this CaseInsensitiveString to.
        Returns:
        true if the strings contained within the two objects are equal, apart from case.

      • hashCode

        public final int hashCode()
        Hash code. This method returns an hash code in such a way that two CaseInsensitiveString objects differing only in case have the same hash code.
        Overrides:
        hashCode in class Object
        Returns:
        The hash code for this CaseInsensitiveString object.

      • equalsIgnoreCase

        public static final boolean equalsIgnoreCase​(String s1,
                                             String s2)
        Static method for case insensitive string comparasion. For comparasion used the regionMatches approach which doesn't allocate any additional memory.
        Parameters:
        s1 - , s2 The String objects to compare
        Returns:
        true if the strings are equal, apart from case.
