Analyze the following code. // Program 1: public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { Object a1 = new A(); Object a2 = new A(); System. out. println(a1.equals(a2)); } } class A { int x; public boolean equals(Object a) { return this. x == ((A)a).x; } } // Program 2: public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { Object a1 = new A(); Object a2 = new A(); System. out. println(a1.equals(a2)); } } class A { int x; public boolean equals(A a) { return this. x == a. x; } }

Hi there! The question is quizzing on your knowledge of type casting. Please find the explanation below.

Explanation:

The first program declares a Test class containing the main function in which two objects of class A are created and compared. The main function is the entry point of a Java program. After objects a1 and a2 are created, their comparison function “equals” is invoked and the result printed on the screen with the “System.out.println” method. The second program is the same in this respect, except for the implementation of class A. In the first program, class A has the property “x” defined as an int. The method “equals” accepts any object and type casts (converts) the passed object to a type of class A and compares and returns whether the property x of the type-casted object matches the property of the current object a. In the second program, the equals method of class A only accepts an input parameter of class A and returns whether the property x of the type-casted object matches the property of the current object a.

i'm so sorry that's not a question and this isn't an answer

we can all learn from our past mistakes because we all have different ways of learning different types of techniques. my way may or may not another classmate remember and have the repetition to acknowledge such standard. such as remembering acronyms. using abbreviations to us remember keep things in order in our memory. this us figure out what comes next in the sequence. if so, what we have is a sentence of just letters all in caps. we either know the meaning or have no idea what it stands for. most of the time we know the meaning and context. but most of us who don't know, should learn by having a quick glance at what needs to be remembered. such as repetition in the memory for acronyms. one way that me, is the fact that i'm always doing math and english assignments. so we have to remember specific meanings such as soapstone for documents, such as citing correctly. or pemdas for doing the equations correctly, even if it's the super long way. this works for everyone. you just have to find what works for you by practicing and repetition daily.
