The equals() method of java.time.chrono.JapaneseDate class is used to compare this Japanese date with another Japanese date.
Syntax:
public boolean equals(Object obj)
Parameter: This method takes an equivalent object as a parameter to compare with this Japanesedate .
Return Value: This method returns true if both the dates are equal otherwise false.
Below are the examples to illustrate the equals() method:
Example 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// equals() methodimport java.util.*;import java.io.*;import java.time.*;import java.time.chrono.*;public class GFG { public static void main(String[] argv) { try { // creating and initializing // JapaneseDate Object JapaneseDate hidate1 = JapaneseDate.now(); // creating and initializing // JapaneseDate Object JapaneseDate hidate2 = JapaneseDate.now(); // comparing both date // by using equals() method boolean status = hidate1.equals(hidate2); // display the result if (status) System.out.println( "both dates are equal"); else System.out.println( "both dates are not equal"); } catch (DateTimeException e) { System.out.println( "passed parameter can" + " not form a date"); System.out.println( "Exception thrown: " + e); } }} |
Output
both dates are equal
Example 2:

Output
