Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`boolean`	`equals(Object o)`	Compares a binding object to another object.
`String`	`getName()`	Gets the name of the binding (e.g.
`Value`	`getValue()`	Gets the value of the binding.
`int`	`hashCode()`	The hash code of a binding is defined as the bit-wise XOR of the hash codes of its name and value:

- Method Detail
  - getName
```
String getName()
```
    Gets the name of the binding (e.g. the variable name).
    
    Returns:
    
    The name of the binding.
  - getValue
```
Value getValue()
```
    Gets the value of the binding. The returned value is never equal to null, such a "binding" is considered to be unbound.
    
    Returns:
    
    The value of the binding, never null.
  - equals
```
boolean equals(Object o)
```
    Compares a binding object to another object.
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
    
    Parameters:
    
    o - The object to compare this binding to.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the other object is an instance of Binding and both their names and values are equal, false otherwise.
  - hashCode
```
int hashCode()
```
    The hash code of a binding is defined as the bit-wise XOR of the hash codes of its name and value:
    name.hashCode() ˆ value.hashCode()
    
    .
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    A hash code for the binding.
