equals() method of the ZoneId class used to compare this ZoneId to the ZoneId object passed as parameter. The value to be returned by this method is determined as follows:
- if both ZoneId are equal, then true is returned
- if both ZoneId are not equal, then false is returned.
Syntax:
public boolean equals(Object obj)
Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter obj which represents the object to compare with this ZoneId, It can’t be null.
Return value: This method returns true if both ZoneId are equal else false.
Below programs illustrate the equals() method:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// ZoneId.equals() method import java.time.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create two diff ZoneId objects ZoneId ZoneId1 = ZoneId.of("Europe/Paris"); ZoneId ZoneId2 = ZoneId.of("Asia/Calcutta"); // apply equals() method to check // whether both ZoneIds are equal or not boolean response = ZoneId1.equals(ZoneId2); // print result System.out.println("Both ZoneIds" + "are equal: " + response); }} |
Output:
Both ZoneIdsare equal: false
Program 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// ZoneId.equals() method import java.time.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create two diff ZoneId objects ZoneId ZoneId1 = ZoneId.of("Asia/Calcutta"); ZoneId ZoneId2 = ZoneId.of("Asia/Calcutta"); // apply equals() method to check // whether both ZoneIds are equal or not boolean response = ZoneId1.equals(ZoneId2); // print result System.out.println("Both ZoneIds" + "are equal: " + response); }} |
Output:
Both ZoneIdsare equal: true
