The equals() method of Boolean class is a built in method of Java which is used check equality of two Boolean object.
Syntax:
BooleanObject.equals(Object ob)
Parameter: It take a parameter ob of type Object as input which is the instance to be compared.
Return Type: The return type is boolean. It returns true if the specified Object ‘ob’ has same value as the ‘BooleanObject’, else it returns false.
Below are programs to illustrate the equals() method of Boolean class:
Program 1:
class GeeksforGeeks {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Boolean a = new Boolean( true );
Boolean b = new Boolean( true );
System.out.println(a + " comparing with " + b
+ " = " + a.equals(b));
}
}
|
Output:
true comparing with true = true
Program 2:
class GeeksforGeeks {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Boolean a = new Boolean( true );
Boolean b = new Boolean( false );
System.out.println(a + " comparing with " + b
+ " = " + a.equals(b));
}
}
|
Output:
true comparing with false = false
Program 3:
class GeeksforGeeks {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Boolean a = new Boolean( false );
Boolean b = new Boolean( true );
System.out.println(a + " comparing with " + b
+ " = " + a.equals(b));
}
}
|
Output:
false comparing with true = false
