    • equals

      public boolean equals​(Object obj)
      Tests the equality of this object against an arbitrary Object.

      This method will return true ONLY if the object is a Minute object representing the same minute as this instance.

      Overrides:
      equals in class Object
      Parameters:
      obj - the object to compare (null permitted).
      Returns:
      true if the minute and hour value of this and the object are the same.
    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      Returns a hash code for this object instance. The approach described by Joshua Bloch in "Effective Java" has been used here:

      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object
      Returns:
      A hash code.
    • compareTo

      public int compareTo​(Object o1)
      Returns an integer indicating the order of this Minute object relative to the specified object: negative == before, zero == same, positive == after.
      Specified by:
      compareTo in interface Comparable
      Parameters:
      o1 - object to compare.
      Returns:
      negative == before, zero == same, positive == after.
    • parseMinute

      public static Minute parseMinute​(String s)
      Creates a Minute instance by parsing a string. The string is assumed to be in the format "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM", perhaps with leading or trailing whitespace.
      Parameters:
      s - the minute string to parse.
      Returns:
      null, if the string is not parseable, the minute otherwise.
