The equals() Method of Locale class in Java is used to simply check the equality between two locale objects. The method returns true if the locale objects are equal at all aspects from country to language and other variants. Syntax:

First_Locale.clone(Sec_Locale)

Parameters: This method takes one parameter Sec_Locale which is the reference object for the comparison. Return Value: This method returns boolean true if the locale matches false. Below programs illustrate the working of equals() method: Program 1: 

Java




// Java code to illustrate equals() method
 
import java.util.*;
 
public class Locale_Demo {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        // Creating a new locale
        Locale first_locale
            = new Locale("en", "US");
        Locale sec_locale
            = new Locale("en", "US");
 
        // Displaying first locale
        System.out.println("First Locale: "
                           + first_locale);
 
        // Displaying second locale
        System.out.println("Second Locale: "
                           + sec_locale);
 
        // Displaying the equality
        System.out.println(first_locale
                               .equals(sec_locale));
    }
}


Output:

First Locale: en_US
Second Locale: en_US
true

Program 2: 

Java




// Java code to illustrate equals() method
import java.util.*;
 
public class Locale_Demo {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        // Creating a new locale
        Locale first_locale
            = new Locale("ar", "SA");
        Locale sec_locale
            = new Locale("en", "GB");
 
        // Displaying first locale
        System.out.println("First Locale: "
                           + first_locale);
 
        // Displaying second locale
        System.out.println("Second Locale: "
                           + sec_locale);
 
        // Displaying the equality
        System.out.println(first_locale
                               .equals(sec_locale));
    }
}


Output:

First Locale: ar_SA
Second Locale: en_GB
false
