Gets the value of this entry direct from the map.
Returns:the value

Implemented per API documentation of Entry.equals(Object)

Params:

Gets a hashCode compatible with the equals method.

Implemented per API documentation of Entry.hashCode()

Returns:a suitable hash code

Gets a string version of the entry.
Returns:entry as a string
