The equals(Duration) method of Duration Class in java.time package is used to check whether this duration is equal to the duration passed as the parameter.
Syntax:
public boolean equals(Duration otherDuration)
Parameters: This method accepts a parameter otherDuration which is the duration to which this duration will be compared to.
Return Value: This method returns a boolean value showing whether this Duration is equal to the otherDuration or not.
Below examples illustrate the Duration.equals() method:
Example 1:
// Java code to illustrate equals() method import java.time.Duration; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Duration using parse() method Duration duration1 = Duration.parse("P2DT3H4M"); // Duration using ofDays() method Duration duration2 = Duration.ofDays(10); // Compare the durations // using equals() method System.out.println(duration1 .equals(duration2)); }} |
Output:
false
Example 2:
// Java code to illustrate equals() method import java.time.Duration; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Duration using ofHours() method Duration duration1 = Duration.ofHours(5); // Duration using ofHours() method Duration duration2 = Duration.ofHours(5); // Compare the durations // using equals() method System.out.println(duration1 .equals(duration2)); }} |
Output:
true
Example 3:
// Java code to illustrate equals() method import java.time.Duration; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Duration using ofDays() method Duration duration1 = Duration.ofDays(5); // Duration using ofHours() method Duration duration2 = Duration.ofHours(5); // Compare the durations // using equals() method System.out.println(duration1 .equals(duration2)); }} |
Output:
false
