ParsePosition equals() method in Java with Example

The equals() method of java.text.ParsePosition class is used to check if both the ParsePosition objects are same or not. Syntax:

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Parameter: This method takes ParsePosition objects which will be compared with the current ParsePosition object. Return Value: if both the ParsePosition objects are equal to each other than it will return true otherwise false. Below are the examples to illustrate the equals() method: Example 1: 

Java




// Java program to demonstrate
// equals() method
 
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {
 
            // Creating and initializing
            // new ParsePosition Object
            ParsePosition pos_1
                = new ParsePosition(0);
 
            // Creating and initializing
            // new ParsePosition Object
            ParsePosition pos_2
                = new ParsePosition(0);
 
            // compare both object
            // using equals() method
            boolean i = pos_1.equals(pos_2);
 
            // display result
            if (i)
                System.out.println(
                    "pos_1 is equals to pos_2");
            else
                System.out.println(
                    "pos_1 is not equal to pos_2");
        }
 
        catch (ClassCastException e) {
 
            System.out.println(e);
        }
    }
}


Output:

pos_1 is equals to pos_2

Example 2: 

Java




// Java program to demonstrate
// equals() method
 
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {
 
            // Creating and initializing
            // new ParsePosition Object
            ParsePosition pos_1
                = new ParsePosition(0);
 
            // Creating and initializing
            // new ParsePosition Object
            ParsePosition pos_2
                = new ParsePosition(1);
 
            // compare both object
            // using equals() method
            boolean i = pos_1.equals(pos_2);
 
            // display result
            if (i)
                System.out.println(
                    "pos_1 is equals to pos_2");
            else
                System.out.println(
                    "pos_1 is not equal to pos_2");
        }
 
        catch (ClassCastException e) {
 
            System.out.println(e);
        }
    }
}


Output:

pos_1 is not equal to pos_2
