Can you list and explain the main methods implemented in the `Any` function?

Answer from AI

In Android (Kotlin), the Any function is the base class for all objects, similar to Object in Java. The main methods implemented in the Any class include:

  • equals(other: Any?): Boolean — checks equality between the current object and another.
  • hashCode(): Int — returns the hash code of the object, used in collections.
  • toString(): String — returns a string representation of the object.

Example of usage:

val obj1 = Any()
val obj2 = Any()
println(obj1.equals(obj2)) // false
println(obj1.hashCode())
println(obj1.toString())

These methods can be overridden in your classes for custom behavior.
