What is the equivalent of the C++ Pair in Java?

Question

Is there a good reason why there is no Pair in Java? What would be the equivalent of this C++ construct? I would rather avoid reimplementing my own.<

Answer 1

android provides Pairclass (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/Pair.html) , here the implementation:

public class Pair {
    public final F first;
    public final S second;

    public Pair(F first, S second) {
        this.first = first;
        this.second = second;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object o) {
        if (!(o instanceof Pair)) {
            return false;
        }
        Pair p = (Pair) o;
        return Objects.equal(p.first, first) && Objects.equal(p.second, second);
    }

    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        return (first == null ? 0 : first.hashCode()) ^ (second == null ? 0 : second.hashCode());
    }

    public static  Pair  create(A a, B b) {
        return new Pair(a, b);
    }
}
