The equals(Duration) method of Duration Class in java.time package is used to check whether this duration is equal to the duration passed as the parameter.
Syntax:
public boolean equals(Duration otherDuration)
Parameters: This method accepts a parameter otherDuration which is the duration to which this duration will be compared to.
Return Value: This method returns a boolean value showing whether this Duration is equal to the otherDuration or not.
Below examples illustrate the Duration.equals() method:
Example 1:
// Java code to illustrate equals() method  import java.time.Duration;  public class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {          // Duration using parse() method        Duration duration1            = Duration.parse("P2DT3H4M");          // Duration using ofDays() method        Duration duration2            = Duration.ofDays(10);          // Compare the durations        // using equals() method        System.out.println(duration1                               .equals(duration2));    }} |
Output:
false
Example 2:
// Java code to illustrate equals() method  import java.time.Duration;  public class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {          // Duration using ofHours() method        Duration duration1            = Duration.ofHours(5);          // Duration using ofHours() method        Duration duration2            = Duration.ofHours(5);          // Compare the durations        // using equals() method        System.out.println(duration1                               .equals(duration2));    }} |
Output:
true
Example 3:
// Java code to illustrate equals() method  import java.time.Duration;  public class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {          // Duration using ofDays() method        Duration duration1            = Duration.ofDays(5);          // Duration using ofHours() method        Duration duration2            = Duration.ofHours(5);          // Compare the durations        // using equals() method        System.out.println(duration1                               .equals(duration2));    }} |
Output:
false
