The equals(Object) method of ZoneOffset Class in java.time package is used to check whether the another instance of ZoneOffset passed as the parameter to this ZoneOffset instance, is equal or not. This method returns a boolean value stating the same. Syntax:
public boolean equals(Object object)
Parameters: This method accepts a parameter object which is to be is equal to this ZoneOffset instance. Return Value: This method returns a boolean value stating whether this ZoneOffset is equal to the instance passed as the parameter. Below examples illustrate the ZoneOffset.equals() method: Example 1:
Java
// Java code to illustrate equals() methodimport java.time.*;public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Get the ZoneOffset instance ZoneOffset zoneOffset1 = ZoneOffset.ofHours(5); System.out.println("ZoneOffset 1: " + zoneOffset1); // Get the ZoneOffset instance ZoneOffset zoneOffset2 = ZoneOffset.ofHours(5); System.out.println("ZoneOffset 2: " + zoneOffset2); // Using equals() method System.out.println("ZoneOffset 1 " + "is equal to ZoneOffset 2: " + zoneOffset1.equals(zoneOffset2)); }} |
Output:
ZoneOffset 1: +05:00 ZoneOffset 2: +05:00 ZoneOffset 1 is equal to ZoneOffset 2: true
Example 2:
Java
// Java code to illustrate equals() methodimport java.time.*;public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Get the ZoneOffset instance ZoneOffset zoneOffset1 = ZoneOffset.ofHours(5); System.out.println("ZoneOffset 1: " + zoneOffset1); // Get the ZoneOffset instance ZoneOffset zoneOffset3 = ZoneOffset.ofHours(3); System.out.println("ZoneOffset 3: " + zoneOffset3); // Using equals() method System.out.println("ZoneOffset 1 " + "is equal to ZoneOffset 3: " + zoneOffset1.equals(zoneOffset3)); }} |
Output:
ZoneOffset 1: +05:00 ZoneOffset 3: +03:00 ZoneOffset 1 is equal to ZoneOffset 3: false
