The equals() method of java.text.FieldPosition class is used to check if both the FieldPosition objects are same or not.
Syntax:
public boolean equals(Object obj)
Parameter: This method takes FieldPosition objects which will be compared with the current FieldPosition object.
Return Value: if both the FieldPosition objects are equal to each other then it will return true otherwise false.
Below are the examples to illustrate the equals() method:
Example 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// equals() methodimport java.text.*;import java.util.*;import java.io.*;public class GFG { public static void main(String[] argv) { try { // Creating and initializing // new FieldPosition Object FieldPosition pos_1 = new FieldPosition( DateFormat.Field.AM_PM); // Creating and initializing // new FieldPosition Object FieldPosition pos_2 = new FieldPosition( DateFormat.Field.AM_PM); // compare both object // using equals() method boolean i = pos_1.equals(pos_2); // display result if (i) System.out.println( "pos_1 is equals to pos_2"); else System.out.println( "pos_1 is not equal to pos_2"); } catch (ClassCastException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } }} |
Output:
pos_1 is equals to pos_2
Example 2:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// equals() methodimport java.text.*;import java.util.*;import java.io.*;public class GFG { public static void main(String[] argv) { try { // Creating and initializing // new FieldPosition Object FieldPosition pos_1 = new FieldPosition( DateFormat.Field.AM_PM); // Creating and initializing // new FieldPosition Object FieldPosition pos_2 = new FieldPosition( MessageFormat.Field.ARGUMENT); // compare both object // using equals() method boolean i = pos_1.equals(pos_2); // display result if (i) System.out.println( "pos_1 is equals to pos_2"); else System.out.println( "pos_1 is not equal to pos_2"); } catch (ClassCastException e) { System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e); } }} |
Output:
pos_1 is not equal to pos_2
