GenericCellLevelCharacteristics (Gemma 1.32.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- ubic.gemma.model.common.AbstractIdentifiable
- - ubic.gemma.model.expression.bioAssayData.GenericCellLevelCharacteristics

All Implemented Interfaces:

Identifiable, CellLevelCharacteristics
```
public class GenericCellLevelCharacteristics
extends AbstractIdentifiable
implements CellLevelCharacteristics
```
Generic cell-level characteristics.
For cell types, use CellTypeAssignment instead.
This is not meant to be used directly, prefer CellLevelCharacteristics.Factory.newInstance(java.util.List<ubic.gemma.model.common.description.Characteristic>, int[]) for creating cell-level characteristics or CellTypeAssignment for cell types.

All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`boolean`	`equals(Object object)`	Important note: Two objects with the same class and non-null ID must be considered equal.
`Characteristic`	`getCharacteristic(int cellIndex)`	Obtain the characteristic assigned to a given cell.
`int`	`hashCode()`	Important note: Never use the ID in the hashCode() implementation since it can be assigned when the object is persisted.
`String`	`toString()`

public GenericCellLevelCharacteristics()
```
- Method Detail
  - getCharacteristic
```
@Nullable
public Characteristic getCharacteristic(int cellIndex)
```
    Description copied from interface: CellLevelCharacteristics
    
    Obtain the characteristic assigned to a given cell.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getCharacteristic in interface CellLevelCharacteristics
    
    Returns:
    
    the characteristic or null if the cell is assigned to CellLevelCharacteristics.UNKNOWN_CHARACTERISTIC.
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Description copied from class: AbstractIdentifiable
    
    Important note: Never use the ID in the hashCode() implementation since it can be assigned when the object is persisted.
    
    Specified by:
    
    hashCode in class AbstractIdentifiable
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object object)
```
    Description copied from class: AbstractIdentifiable
    
    Important note: Two objects with the same class and non-null ID must be considered equal. If one or both IDs are nulls, the rest of the state can be used to determine equality.
