The equals() method of java.util.logging.Level is used to check if this level object is equals to passed object or not.If both objects are equals then method will return true else false.
Syntax:
public boolean equals(Object ox)
Parameters: This method accepts an object ox which is the reference object with which to compare.
Return: This method returns true if and only if the two objects have the same level value.
Below programs illustrate equals() method:
Program 1:
// Java program to illustrate equals() method  import java.util.logging.Level;import java.util.logging.Logger;  public class GFG {      public static void main(String[] args)    {          // Create a Logger        Logger logger            = Logger.getLogger(                        Object.class.getName())                  .getParent();          // Get level of logger        Level level1            = logger.getLevel();          // Create a second Logger        Logger logger2            = Logger.getLogger(                        String.class.getName())                  .getParent();          // Get level of second logger        Level level2            = logger2.getLevel();          // apply equal method        boolean value = level1.equals(level2);          // print level names        System.out.println("Both level are equal = "                           + value);    }} |
Output:
Both level are equal = true
Program 2:
// Java program to illustrate equals() method  import java.util.ArrayList;import java.util.logging.Level;import java.util.logging.Logger;  public class GFG {      public static void main(String[] args)    {          // Create a Logger        Logger logger            = Logger.getLogger(                        Object.class.getName())                  .getParent();          // Get level of logger        Level level1            = logger.getLevel();          // Create a second Logger for ArrayList class        Logger logger2            = Logger.getLogger(                ArrayList.class.getName());          // Get level of second logger        Level level2            = logger2.getLevel();          // apply equal method        boolean value = level1.equals(level2);          // print level names        System.out.println("Both level are equal = "                           + value);    }} |
Output:
Both level are equal = false
