The equals() method of java.text.ChoiceFormat class is used to compare between two ChoiceFormat objects and give the Boolean value regarding the comparison.
Syntax:

Parameter: This method takes obj as parameter which is another ChoiceFormat object for comparison.
Return Value: This method returns true if both choice format objects are equal otherwise false.
Below are the examples to illustrate the equals() method:
Example 1: 
 

Java




// Java program to demonstrate equals() method
 
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        // creating and initializing ChoiceFormat
        ChoiceFormat cf1
            = new ChoiceFormat(
                "4#wed| 5#thu | 6#fri | 7#sat");
 
        // creating and initializing ChoiceFormat
        ChoiceFormat cf2
            = new ChoiceFormat(
                "4#wed| 5#thu | 6#fri | 7#sat");
 
        // compare cf1 and cf2
        // using equals() method
        boolean status = cf1.equals(cf2);
 
        // display the result
        if (status)
            System.out.println("Both ChoiceFormat"
                               + " objects are equal");
        else
            System.out.println("Both ChoiceFormat "
                               + "objects are not equal");
    }
}


Output: 

Both ChoiceFormat objects are equal

 

Example 2: 
 

Java




// Java program to demonstrate equals() method
 
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        // creating and initializing ChoiceFormat
        ChoiceFormat cf1
            = new ChoiceFormat(
                "1#sun| 2#mon | 3#tues | 4#wed");
 
        // creating and initializing ChoiceFormat
        ChoiceFormat cf2
            = new ChoiceFormat(
                "4#wed| 5#thu | 6#fri | 7#sat");
 
        // compare cf1 and cf2
        // using equals() method
        boolean status = cf1.equals(cf2);
 
        // display the result
        if (status)
            System.out.println("Both ChoiceFormat"
                               + " objects are equal");
        else
            System.out.println("Both ChoiceFormat "
                               + "objects are not equal");
    }
