Hello everyone I am trying to use the == to check if two variables are structurally equal
// PersonImpl0 has the name variable in the primary constructor
data class PersonImpl0(val id: Long, var name: String="") {
}
// PersonImpl1 has the name variable in the body
data class PersonImpl1(val id: Long) {
var name: String=""
}
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
val person0 = PersonImpl0(0)
person0.name = "Charles"
val person1 = PersonImpl0(0)
person1.name = "Eugene"
val person2 = PersonImpl1(0)
person0.name = "Charles"
val person3 = PersonImpl1(0)
person1.name = "Eugene"
println(person0 == person1) // Are not equal ??
println(person2 == person3) // Are equal ??
}
Here the output I got
false
true
Why is it that the 2 variables are not equal in the first case and equal in the second case ?
THank you for clearing this up for me
