    Default Problems with Assignment in Java II

    Write a class encapsualting the concept of a course grade, assuming a course grade
    * has the following attributes: a course name and a letter grade. Include a constructor,
    * the accessor and mutator, and methods toString and equals.Write a client class
    * to test all the methods in your class.

    Here is my code so far not sure how to test and finish the toString and equals method in this code ? Any help would be much appreciated.

    package labmodule7num57;
    import java.util.*;

    public class LabModule7Num57 {
    // Constructors//
    private String name;
    private String letterGrade;
    public LabModule7Num57 (String name,String letterGrade) {

    this.name = name;
    this.name =letterGrade;
    }
    // Setting the name of course and letter grade//
    public void setName(String name,String letterGrade) {

    this.name = name;
    this.name =letterGrade;
    }
    // Getting the name of the course//
    public String getName() {

    return name;
    }
    // Getting the name of the letter grade//
    public String getletterGrade() {

    return letterGrade;
    }
    // Returning the name of the course and the letter grade//
    public String toString() {

    return name+":"+letterGrade;

    }


    public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO code application logic here
    }
    }

    equals may be something like this:
    public boolean equals(Object obj){
            if (!(obj instanceof LabModule7Num57))
                return false;
            LabModule7Num57 entry = (LabModule7Num57)obj;
            return this.name.equals(entry.name) &&               
                   this.letterGrade.equals(entry.letterGrade);
        }

    I'd add hashCode() function:
    public int hashCode(){
            int hash = 37;
            hash = hash*17 + this.name.hashCode();
            hash = hash*17 + this.letterGrade.hashCode();
            return hash;
        }
