Which one of the following statements about what happens when equals is overridden but hashCode is not is true?
Answer: A
Nothing stops the code compiling, and the damage only shows in a hash-based collection: two objects that equals calls the same still carry the inherited identity hash codes, so they hash to different buckets and are never compared. The javadoc notes it is generally necessary to override hashCode whenever equals is overridden.
