equals
public boolean equals(Object obj)
Compares this elliptic curve for equality with the specified object.- Overrides:
-
equals
in classObject
- Parameters:
-
obj
- the object to be compared. - Returns:
-
true if
obj
is an instance of EllipticCurve and the field, A, and B match, false otherwise. - See Also:
