Thread: What does this method do?

Could somebody explain what this method does do?

    public boolean equals(Object object){
        if(object instanceof Product){
            Product product= (Product)object;
            return product.getTitle().equals(title);
        }
        return false;
    }

This is the class

public class Product {
    private String title;
    private double price;
 
    public Product(String title, double price) {
        this.title = title;
        this.price = price;
    }
 
    public String getTitle() {
        return title;
    }
 
    public double getPrice() {
        return price;
    }
 
    public boolean equals(Object object){
        if(object instanceof Product){
            Product product= (Product)object;
            return product.getTitle().equals(title);
        }
        return false;
    }
}
