```
public static final int nextHashCode(int prevHashVal,
                                     int newVal)
```
    Returns the next hash value by giving the previous one and a new one. The caller usually uses a loop to accumulate all related fields.
    
    Parameters:
    
    prevHashVal - the previous hash value returned by this method; 0 if it is the first call.
    
    newVal - the new value to put in
    
    Returns:
    
    the new hash value
  - hashCode
```
public static final int hashCode(boolean[] v)
```
    Generates hash codes for an array of boolean. It is suggested to cache the hash code.
    
    Parameters:
    
    v - the array
    
    Returns:
    
    the hash code
  - hashCode
```
public static final int hashCode(byte[] v)
```
    Generates hash codes for an array of bytes. It is suggested to cache the hash code.
    
    Parameters:
    
    v - the array
    
    Returns:
    
    the hash code
  - hashCode
```
public static final int hashCode(byte[] v,
                                 int len)
```
    Generates hash codes for an array of bytes up to the specified length. It is suggested to cache the hash code.
    
    Parameters:
    
    v - the array
    
    len - the maximal length to generate hashCode
    
    Returns:
    
    the hash code
  - hashCode
```
public static final int hashCode(char[] v)
```
    Generates hash codes for an array. It is suggested to cache the hash code.
    
    Parameters:
    
    v - the array
    
    Returns:
    
    the hash code
  - hashCode
```
public static final int hashCode(short[] v)
```
    Generates hash codes for an array. It is suggested to cache the hash code.
    
    Parameters:
    
    v - the array
    
    Returns:
    
    the hash code
  - hashCode
```
public static final int hashCode(int[] v)
```
    Generates hash codes for an array. It is suggested to cache the hash code.
    
    Parameters:
    
    v - the byte array
    
    Returns:
    
    the hash code
  - hashCode
```
public static final int hashCode(long[] v)
```
    Generates hash codes for an array. It is suggested to cache the hash code.
    
    Parameters:
    
    v - the array
    
    Returns:
    
    the hash code
  - hashCode
```
public static final int hashCode(java.lang.Object o)
```
    Returns the object's hash code, or zero if null.
  - equals
```
public static final boolean equals(java.lang.Object a,
                                   java.lang.Object b)
```
    Tests whether two objects are equals.
    It takes care of the null case. Thus, it is helpful to implement Object.equals.
    Notice: it uses compareTo if BigDecimal is found. So, in this case, a.equals(b) might not be the same as Objects.equals(a, b).
    If both a and b are Object[], they are compared item-by-item.
  - toCharArray
```
public static final char[] toCharArray(java.lang.Object o)
```
    Converts any object to a character array.
    
    Parameters:
    
    o - the object to convert
    
    Returns:
    
    the char array or null if o is null
  - toString
```
public static final java.lang.String toString(java.lang.Object o)
```
    Converts any object to a string. If o is an object array, it invokes ArraysX.toString(java.lang.Object[]) to make the string more readable.
  - toByteArray
```
public static final byte[] toByteArray(int v)
```
    Converts an integer to a big-endian byte array.
  - toByteArray
```
public static final byte[] toByteArray(long v)
```
    Converts a long to a big-endian byte array.
  - toByteArray
```
public static final byte[] toByteArray(short v)
```
    Converts a short to a big-endian byte array.
  - toByteArray
```
public static final byte[] toByteArray(byte v)
```
    Converts a byte to a big-endian byte array.
  - clone
```
public static final java.lang.Object clone(java.lang.Object o)
```
    Clones the specified object. Use clone() if Cloneable. Otherwise, try to serialize/deserialize it by use of MarshalledObject.
    If o is null, null is returned.
    
    Throws:
    
    SystemException - if failed to clone
