The isEqual() method of LocalDateTime class in Java is used to check if this date is equal to the specified date-time.
Syntax:
public boolean isEqual(ChronoLocalDateTime other)
Parameter: This method accepts a parameter other which specifies the other date-time to be compare to. It should not be null.
Returns: The function returns boolean value if this date-time is equal to the specified date-time.
Below programs illustrate the LocalDateTime.isEqual() method:
Program 1:
// Program to illustrate the isEqual() method import java.util.*;import java.time.*; public class GfG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Parses the date LocalDateTime dt1 = LocalDateTime .parse("2018-11-03T12:45:30"); // Prints the date System.out.println("Date 1: " + dt1); // Parses the date LocalDateTime dt2 = LocalDateTime .parse("2018-11-03T12:45:30"); // Prints the date System.out.println("Date 2: " + dt2); // Compares the date System.out.println("After comparison: " + dt2.isEqual(dt1)); }} |
Output:
Date 1: 2018-11-03T12:45:30 Date 2: 2018-11-03T12:45:30 After comparison: true
Program 2:
// Program to illustrate the isEqual() method import java.util.*;import java.time.*; public class GfG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Parses the date LocalDateTime dt1 = LocalDateTime .parse("2010-12-05T12:50:30"); // Prints the date System.out.println("Date 1: " + dt1); // Parses the date LocalDateTime dt2 = LocalDateTime .parse("2012-05-10T12:50:30"); // Prints the date System.out.println("Date 2: " + dt2); // Compares the date System.out.println("After comparison: " + dt2.isEqual(dt1)); }} |
Output:
Date 1: 2010-12-05T12:50:30 Date 2: 2012-05-10T12:50:30 After comparison: false
