Last Updated :
23 Jan, 2023
The equals() method of java.text.Collator class is used to check if both the Collator objects are same or not.
Syntax:
public boolean equals(Object that)
Parameter: This method takes two Collator objects between which comparison is going to take place.
Return Value: if both Collator objects are equal to each other then it will return true otherwise false.
Below are the examples to illustrate the equals() method:
Example 1:
Java
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] argv)
{
try {
String simple = "< a< b< c< d";
RuleBasedCollator col_1
= new RuleBasedCollator(simple);
Collator col_2
= Collator.getInstance(Locale.US);
boolean i = col_1.equals(col_2);
if (i)
System.out.println(col_1
+ " is equal to "
+ col_2);
else
System.out.println(col_1
+ " is not equal to "
+ col_2);
}
catch (ClassCastException e) {
System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
}
catch (ParseException e) {
System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
}
}
}

Output:
java.text.RuleBasedCollator@5eb2e1c2 is not equal to java.text.RuleBasedCollator@289747d6
Example 2:
Java
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] argv)
{
try {
Collator col_1
= Collator.getInstance(Locale.UK);
Collator col_2
= Collator.getInstance(Locale.US);
boolean i = col_1.equals(col_2);
if (i)
System.out.println(col_1
+ " is equal to "
+ col_2);
else
System.out.println(col_1
+ " is not equal to "
+ col_2);
}
catch (ClassCastException e) {
System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
}
}
}

Output:
java.text.RuleBasedCollator@289747d6 is equal to java.text.RuleBasedCollator@289747d6
