我是否正确实现了Equals（）/ GetHashCode（）？

Question

The program was working with this implementation:

class Instrument
{
    public string ClassCode { get; set; }
    public string Ticker { get; set; }
    public override string ToString()
    {
        return " ClassCode: " + ClassCode + " Ticker: " + Ticker + '.';
    }
}

But because I need to use Instrument in Dictionary I've decided to implement equals/hashcode:

class Instrument
{
    public string ClassCode { get; set; }
    public string Ticker { get; set; }
    public override string ToString()
    {
        return " ClassCode: " + ClassCode + " Ticker: " + Ticker + '.';
    }

    public override bool Equals(object obj)
    {
        if (obj == null)
            return false;

        Instrument instrument = obj as Instrument;
        if (instrument == null)
            return false;

        return ((ClassCode.Equals(instrument.ClassCode)) && (Ticker.Equals(instrument.Ticker));
    }

    public override int GetHashCode()
    {
        int hash = 13;
        hash = (hash * 7) + ClassCode.GetHashCode();
        hash = (hash * 7) + Ticker.GetHashCode();
        return hash;
    }
}

Now the program has stopped working. In such or similar places I receive "KeyNotFoundException":

if (cache.Keys.Any(instrument => instrument.Ticker == newTicker && instrument.ClassCode == newClassCode))

Is it possible that some pieces of the code assume that equals and hashcode IS NOT implemented? Or probably I just implemented them wrong? Sorry I'm not familiar with such advanced features in C# as the last piece of code and don't know how it is connected with equals or hashCode.

Answer 1

您的HashCode和Equals方法应仅依赖于不可变属性 - 您的实现使用ClassCode和Ticker，它们都具有setter并因此是可变的。

Answer 2

First , instead of using cache.Keys.Any you can just use ContainsKey .

bool contains = cache.ContainsKey(
    new Instrument { Ticker = newTicker, ClassCode = newClassCode });

The first iterate over the whole keys list - O(n), while the second uses Dictionary's built in hash table implementation - O(1).

Second , check for null reference in your implementation:

public override bool Equals(object obj)
{
    if (obj == null)
        return false;

    Instrument instrument = obj as Instrument;
    if (instrument == null)
        return false;

    // 1. string.Equals can handle null references.
    // 2. object.ReferenceEquals for better preformances when it's the same object
    return (object.ReferenceEquals(this, instrument)) ||
        (string.Equals(ClassCode, instrument.ClassCode) &&
        string.Equals(Ticker, instrument.Ticker));
}

public override int GetHashCode()
{
    int hash = 13;
    if (ClassCode != null)
        hash = (hash * 7) + ClassCode.GetHashCode();
    if (Ticker!= null)
        hash = (hash * 7) + Ticker.GetHashCode();

    return hash;
}

Other than that, I can't see a problem.

That's the wrong reason. Your class already has implementations for Equality and GetHashCode that are suitable, efficient and tested for use in a Dictionary.

Have I implemented Equals()/GetHashCode() correctly?

No. You are missing an overload for == to start with. And it will only be reliable when you make Instrument immutable.

Your best course of action is not to override any of those members.

Also see this MSDN advice . Notice the "guarantees of Equals" and

Overriding operator == in non-immutable types is not recommended.
