  - functor
```
public java.lang.String functor()
```
    Returns the functor.
    
    Specified by:
    
    functor in interface CompoundTerm
  - arity
```
public int arity()
```
    Return the arity.
    
    Specified by:
    
    arity in interface CompoundTerm
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)
```
    Overrides equals() in java.lang.Object. Returns true iff the parameter Object implements CompoundTerm and its functor and arity are equal to this object's and pairwise invocations of equals() return true between each of this object's arguments and the corresponding argument of the parameter object.
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class java.lang.Object
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class java.lang.Object
