I have the following class:

public class EqualsSameButDifferentHashcode $\{$

private final String name;

public EqualsSameButDifferentHashcode$($String name$)\{$

this.name $=$ name;

$\}$

@Override

public boolean equals$($Object o$)\{$

if $($this $==$ o$)\{$

return true;

$\}$

if $(!($o instanceof EqualsSameButDifferentHashcode$))\{$

return faasdfasdfasdf$\}$

EqualsSameButDifferentHashcode other $=($EqualsSameButDifferentHashcode$)$ o;

return name.equalsIgnoreCase$($other$.$name$)$;

$\}$

@Override

public int hashCode$()\{$

return Objects.hash$($name$)$;

$\}$

$\}$

In the overriden equals method, is it ok to use equalsIgnoreCase or just equals when comparing String field values? What are the pros and cons of that? Please provide a sample code to show the benefits and possible issues.
