The equals() method of java.time.chrono.MinguoDate class is used to compare this Minguo date with another Minguo date.
Syntax:
public boolean equals(Object obj)
Parameter: This method takes an equivalent object as a parameter to compare with this Minguodate.
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 program to demonstrate// equals() method  import 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            // MinguoDate Object            MinguoDate hidate1                = MinguoDate.now();              // creating and initializing            // MinguoDate Object            MinguoDate hidate2                = MinguoDate.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:
// Java program to demonstrate// equals() method  import 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            // MinguoDate Object            MinguoDate hidate1                = MinguoDate.now();              // creating and initializing            // MinguoDate Object            MinguoDate hidate2                = MinguoDate.of(2008, 03, 23);              // 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 not equal
