Creates an ECPoint from the specified affine x-coordinate x and affine y-coordinate y.
Params:
  • x – the affine x-coordinate.
  • y – the affine y-coordinate.
Throws:
/** * Creates an ECPoint from the specified affine x-coordinate * {@code x} and affine y-coordinate {@code y}. * @param x the affine x-coordinate. * @param y the affine y-coordinate. * @exception NullPointerException if {@code x} or * {@code y} is null. */

Returns the affine x-coordinate x. Note: POINT_INFINITY has a null affine x-coordinate.
Returns:the affine x-coordinate.

Compares this elliptic curve point for equality with the specified object.
Params:

Returns:true if obj is an instance of ECPoint and the affine coordinates match, false otherwise.

Returns a hash code value for this elliptic curve point.
Returns:a hash code value.
