The isEqual() method of LocalDate class in Java checks if this date is equal to the specified date or not.
Syntax:
public boolean isEqual(ChronoLocalDate date2)
Parameter: This method accept a single mandatory parameter date2 the other date to compare to and not null.
Return Value: The function returns true if this date is equal to the specified date.
Below programs illustrate the isEqual() method of LocalDate in Java:
Program 1:
// Program to illustrate the isEqual() method import java.util.*;import java.time.*; public class GfG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Parses the first date LocalDate dt1 = LocalDate.parse("2018-11-27"); // Parses the second date LocalDate dt2 = LocalDate.parse("2018-11-27"); // Checks System.out.println(dt1.isEqual(dt2)); }} |
Output:
true
Program 2:
// Program to illustrate the isEqual() method import java.util.*;import java.time.*; public class GfG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Parses the first date LocalDate dt1 = LocalDate.parse("2018-11-27"); // Parses the second date LocalDate dt2 = LocalDate.parse("2015-11-27"); // Checks System.out.println(dt1.isEqual(dt2)); }} |
Output:
false
