Implementing the equals method in java

Question

This is my implementation of the equals class for a Coor class which is just contains 2 ints x and y. would this be the proper way of implementing this method?

Answer 1

Seems ok. For brevity sake, you can do:

return temp.x == this.x && temp.y == this.y

Instead of

if (temp.x == this.x && temp.y == this.y) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }

Also, please keep in mind the Object Contract (seriously!).

This can save you a huge about of headache in the future.
