Below programs illustrate the WeekFields.equals() method:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate // WeekFields.equals() method   import java.time.DayOfWeek; import java.time.temporal.WeekFields;   public class GFG {     public static void main(String[] args)     {           // create WeekFields         WeekFields weekFields             = WeekFields.of(DayOfWeek.MONDAY, 1 );         WeekFields otherWeekFields             = WeekFields.of(DayOfWeek.MONDAY, 1 );           // apply equals()         boolean bothAreEquals             = weekFields.equals(otherWeekFields);           // print results         System.out.println( "Equals: "                            + bothAreEquals);     } } |
Equals: true
Program 2:
// Java program to demonstrate // WeekFields.equals() method   import java.time.DayOfWeek; import java.time.temporal.WeekFields;   public class GFG {     public static void main(String[] args)     {           // create WeekFields         WeekFields weekFields             = WeekFields.of(DayOfWeek.MONDAY, 1 );         WeekFields otherWeekFields             = WeekFields.of(DayOfWeek.SUNDAY, 3 );           // apply equals()         boolean bothAreEquals             = weekFields.equals(otherWeekFields);           // print results         System.out.println( "Equals: "                            + bothAreEquals);     } } |
Equals: false
