Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.

. Note that this might not always be the most efficient implementation - for this particular example, a better implementation might be to make a ScoreDocLookupComparator that uses an internal lookup table of int.

Serves as a hash function for a particular type.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Returns a String that represents the current Object.
