What is HashCode and Equals Contract in Java about?

If you override the equals() method in a class, you must also override the hashCode() method to avoid violating the general contract for hashCode. The default hashCode() implementation returns an integer based on object identity rather than values, so equal objects may return different hashes. Overriding hashCode to consider the same fields as equals ensures equal objects have the same hash, as required.
