7) Suppose there is Student class like
class student {
int age;
string name;
}
We want to store these objects in a HashMap. Do we need to
override any methods in Student class? If any which ones
and why? what if i just override equals or just hashcode?
what will be the results in both the cases?

It is a good practice to override equals() and hashcode()
methods if you are dealing with collections. Both of the
functions are used while searching for a particular object
in a hashmap. In general, equals() method is used to
determine if two objects are meaningfully equal or not. And
hashcode() method is used to determine if two objects are
meaningfully unequal or not.
