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.UK);
if (col_1.equals(col_2))
System.out.println(
col_1
+ " is equal to "
+ col_2);
else
System.out.println(
col_1
+ " is not equal to "
+ col_2);
