Can anybody please tell me why the following code is giving me
Dog key
null

Is there something wrong i have written in the following code...

import java.util.*;

class Dog
{
public String name;

public Dog(String n)
{
name=n;
}

public boolean equals(Object o)
{
if((o instanceof Dog) && (((Dog)o).name==name))
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
public int hashcode()
{
return name.length();
}
}
public class Test
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
Map<Object, Object> mlist=new HashMap<Object,Object>();
Dog d1=new Dog("clover");
Dog d2=new Dog("clover");
mlist.put(d1,"Dog key");
System.out.println(mlist.get(d1));
System.out.println(mlist.get(d2));
System.out.println(mlist.get(new Dog("clover")));

It's the hashCode() method -- with a capital C.
