The equals() method of a javax.naming.CompositeName class is used to compare this CompositeName with the specified object passed as a parameter and checks whether two objects are equal or not. If both objects are equal then the equals() method returns true else false. If passed obj is null or not a composite name then the method returns false. Two composite objects are equal if each component in one is equal to the corresponding component in the other.
Syntax:
public boolean equals(Object obj)
Parameters: This method accepts obj which is the possibly null object to compare against.
Return value: This method returns true if obj is equal to this composite name, false otherwise.
Below programs illustrate the CompositeName.equals() method:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// CompositeName.equals() import javax.naming.CompositeName;import javax.naming.InvalidNameException; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) throws InvalidNameException { // create Composite name object CompositeName compositeName1 = new CompositeName("x/y/a/b"); CompositeName compositeName2 = new CompositeName("x/y/a/b"); // apply equals() boolean flag = compositeName1.equals( compositeName2); // print value if (flag) System.out.println("CompositeName1 is " + "equal to CompositeName2"); else System.out.println("CompositeName1 is " + "not equal to CompositeName2"); }} |
CompositeName1 is equal to CompositeName2
Program 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// CompositeName.equals() method import javax.naming.CompositeName;import javax.naming.InvalidNameException; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) throws InvalidNameException { // create Composite name object CompositeName compositeName1 = new CompositeName("c/d/a/b"); CompositeName compositeName2 = new CompositeName("e/d/a/b"); // apply equals() boolean flag = compositeName1.equals( compositeName2); // print value if (flag) System.out.println("CompositeName1 is " + "equal to CompositeName2"); else System.out.println("CompositeName1 is " + "not equal to CompositeName2"); }} |
CompositeName1 is not equal to CompositeName2
