hi...

just follow the steps as stated in the tutorial i.e. "Just right click in your class, go to Source->Generate hashCode() and equals()..."

i hope this helps your question, if not, let us know...

Answer 2

You have to instantiate and Apples object
With that object you already can make use of equal and hascode methods because this are defined in object superclass

Or you can override those methods in your Apples class
