public Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException
Objectx, the expression: will be true, and that the expression:x.clone() != x
will bex.clone().getClass() == x.getClass()
true, but these are not absolute requirements. While it is
 typically the case that: will bex.clone().equals(x)
true, this is not an absolute requirement.
 
 By convention, the returned object should be obtained by calling super.clone. If a class
 and all of its superclasses (except Object) obey this convention, it will be the case
 that x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass().
 
 By convention, the object returned by this method should be independent of this object (which is
 being cloned). To achieve this independence, it may be necessary to modify one or more fields of
 the object returned by super.clone before returning it. Typically, this means copying any
 mutable objects that comprise the internal "deep structure" of the object being cloned and
 replacing the references to these objects with references to the copies. If a class contains only
 primitive fields or references to immutable objects, then it is usually the case that no fields
 in the object returned by super.clone need to be modified.
 
 The method clone for class Object performs a specific cloning operation. First,
 if the class of this object does not implement the interface Cloneable, then a
 CloneNotSupportedException is thrown. Note that all arrays are considered to implement
 the interface Cloneable and that the return type of the clone method of an array
 type T[] is T[] where T is any reference or primitive type. Otherwise, this
 method creates a new instance of the class of this object and initializes all its fields with
 exactly the contents of the corresponding fields of this object, as if by assignment; the
 contents of the fields are not themselves cloned. Thus, this method performs a "shallow copy" of
 this object, not a "deep copy" operation.
 
 The class Object does not itself implement the interface Cloneable, so calling
 the clone method on an object whose class is Object will result in throwing an
 exception at run time.

            that override the clone method can also throw this exception to indicate that

public String toString()
ObjecttoString method returns a
 string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative
 representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override
 this method.
 
 The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of
 the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned
 hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a
 string equal to the value of: 
getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
