 Map<K,V> entriesOnlyOnLeft()
          Returns an unmodifiable map containing the entries from the left map whose keys are not present in the right map.
 Map<K,V> entriesOnlyOnRight()
          Returns an unmodifiable map containing the entries from the right map whose keys are not present in the left map.
 boolean equals(Object object)
          Compares the specified object with this instance for equality.
 int hashCode()

Method Detail

areEqual

boolean areEqual()
Returns true if there are no differences between the two maps; that is, if the maps are equal.


entriesOnlyOnLeft

Map<K,V> entriesOnlyOnLeft()
Returns an unmodifiable map containing the entries from the left map whose keys are not present in the right map.


entriesOnlyOnRight

Map<K,V> entriesOnlyOnRight()
Returns an unmodifiable map containing the entries from the right map whose keys are not present in the left map.


entriesInCommon

Map<K,V> entriesInCommon()
Returns an unmodifiable map containing the entries that appear in both maps; that is, the intersection of the two maps.


entriesDiffering

Map<K,MapDifference.ValueDifference<V>> entriesDiffering()
Returns an unmodifiable map describing keys that appear in both maps, but with different values.


equals

boolean equals(@Nullable
               Object object)
Compares the specified object with this instance for equality. Returns true if the given object is also a MapDifference and the values returned by the entriesOnlyOnLeft(), entriesOnlyOnRight(), entriesInCommon() and entriesDiffering() of the two instances are equal.

Overrides:
equals in class Object
Parameters:
object - the reference object with which to compare.
Returns:
true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

Object.hashCode(), Hashtable

hashCode

int hashCode()
Returns the hash code for this instance. This is defined as the hash code of
   Arrays.asList(entriesOnlyOnLeft(), entriesOnlyOnRight(),
       entriesInCommon(), entriesDiffering())

Overrides:
hashCode in class Object
Returns:
a hash code value for this object.
