Below programs illustrate the WeekFields.equals() method:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// WeekFields.equals() method import java.time.DayOfWeek;import java.time.temporal.WeekFields; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create WeekFields WeekFields weekFields = WeekFields.of(DayOfWeek.MONDAY, 1); WeekFields otherWeekFields = WeekFields.of(DayOfWeek.MONDAY, 1); // apply equals() boolean bothAreEquals = weekFields.equals(otherWeekFields); // print results System.out.println("Equals: " + bothAreEquals); }} |
Output:
Equals: true
Program 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// WeekFields.equals() method import java.time.DayOfWeek;import java.time.temporal.WeekFields; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create WeekFields WeekFields weekFields = WeekFields.of(DayOfWeek.MONDAY, 1); WeekFields otherWeekFields = WeekFields.of(DayOfWeek.SUNDAY, 3); // apply equals() boolean bothAreEquals = weekFields.equals(otherWeekFields); // print results System.out.println("Equals: " + bothAreEquals); }} |
Output:
Equals: false
