==(p1)
public
Equality—At the Object level, == returns true
only if obj and other are the same object. Typically,
this method is overridden in descendent classes to provide class-specific
meaning.
Unlike ==, the equal? method should never be overridden by subclasses: it
is used to determine object identity (that is, a.equal?(b) iff a is the
same object as b).
The eql? method returns true if obj and anObject have the same value. Used by Hash to test members for equality. For objects of
class Object, eql? is synonymous with ==.
Subclasses normally continue this tradition, but there are exceptions. Numeric types, for example, perform type
conversion across ==, but not across eql?, so:
1 == 1.0
1.eql? 1.0
