    public static boolean equals(Object a, Object b) {
        return (a == b) || (a != null && a.equals(b));
    }
Returns {@code true} if the arguments are equal to each other
and {@code false} otherwise.
<p>
Consequently, if both arguments are {@code null}, {@code true}
is returned and if exactly one argument is {@code null}, {@code
false} is returned. Otherwise, equality is determined by using
the {@link Object#equals equals} method of the first
argument.

@param a an object
@param b an object to be compared with {@code a} for equality
@return {@code true} if the arguments are equal to each other
and {@code false} otherwise
