The equals() method is a built-in method of the java.nio.charset checks if a given object of charset is equal to another given object of the charset. Two charsets are considered equal if, and only if, they have the same canonical names. A charset is never equal to any other type of object.
Syntax:
public final boolean equals(Object other)
Parameters: The function accepts a single mandatory parameter other which specifies the reference object with which it is compared with.
Return Value: The function returns a boolean value. It returns true if it is equal, else it returns false.
Below is the implementation of the above function:
Program 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate // the above function import java.nio.charset.Charset; import java.util.Iterator; import java.util.Map; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // First charset Charset first = Charset.forName( "ISO-2022-CN" ); // Second charset Charset second = Charset.forName( "UTF-8" ); System.out.println(first.equals(second)); } } |
false
Program 2:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate // the above function import java.nio.charset.Charset; import java.util.Iterator; import java.util.Map; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // First charset Charset first = Charset.forName( "UTF-8" ); // Second charset Charset second = Charset.forName( "UTF-8" ); System.out.println(first.equals(second)); } } |
true
