Method Detail

getName

String getName()

Returns the name of this constructor, as a string. This is always the string "<init>".

Specified by:

getName in interface HMember

Specified by:

getName in interface HMethod

hashCode

int hashCode()

Returns a hashcode for this Constructor. The hashcode is computed as the exclusive-or of the hashcodes for the underlying constructor's declaring class and the constructor's descriptor string.

Specified by:

hashCode in interface HMember

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

toString

String toString()

Return a string describing this Constructor. The string is formatted as: the constructor access modifiers, if any, followed by the fully-qualified name of the declaring class, followed by a parenthesized, comma-separated list of the constructor's formal parameter types. For example:

public java.util.Hashtable(int,float)

The only possible modifiers for constructors are the access modifiers public, protected, or private. Only one of these may appear, or none if the constructor has default (package) access.

Specified by:

toString in interface HMethod

Overrides:

toString in class Object
