The equals() method of OffsetTime class in Java checks if this time is equal to another time. returns true if they are equal or false if they are not.
Syntax:
public boolean equals(Object obj)
Parameter: This method accepts a single mandatory parameter obj which specifies the other time which will be compared with.
Return Value: It returns true if both the time are equal, else it returns false.
Below programs illustrate the equals() method:
Program 1 :
// Java program to demonstrate the equals() method import java.time.OffsetTime; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Parses the time OffsetTime time1 = OffsetTime.parse("15:30:30+07:00"); // Parses the time OffsetTime time2 = OffsetTime.parse("15:30:30+07:00"); // gets the offset time1 System.out.println("time1: " + time1); // gets the offset time2 System.out.println("time1: " + time2); System.out.println("time1 when compared" + " to time2 returns: " + time1.equals(time2)); }} |
Output:
time1: 15:30:30+07:00 time1: 15:30:30+07:00 time1 when compared to time2 returns: true
Program 2 :
// Java program to demonstrate the equals() method import java.time.OffsetTime; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Parses the time OffsetTime time1 = OffsetTime.parse("15:30:30+07:00"); // Parses the time OffsetTime time2 = OffsetTime.parse("12:10:30+07:00"); // gets the offset time1 System.out.println("time1: " + time1); // gets the offset time2 System.out.println("time1: " + time2); System.out.println("time1 when compared" + " to time2 returns: " + time1.equals(time2)); }} |
Output:
time1: 15:30:30+07:00 time1: 12:10:30+07:00 time1 when compared to time2 returns: false
