The isEqual() method of LocalDateTime class in Java is used to check if this date is equal to the specified date-time.
Syntax:
public boolean isEqual(ChronoLocalDateTime other)
Parameter: This method accepts a parameter other which specifies the other date-time to be compare to. It should not be null.
Returns: The function returns boolean value if this date-time is equal to the specified date-time.
Below programs illustrate the LocalDateTime.isEqual() method:
Program 1:
// Program to illustrate the isEqual() method import java.util.*;
import java.time.*;
public class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Parses the date
LocalDateTime dt1
= LocalDateTime
.parse( "2018-11-03T12:45:30" );
// Prints the date
System.out.println( "Date 1: " + dt1);
// Parses the date
LocalDateTime dt2
= LocalDateTime
.parse( "2018-11-03T12:45:30" );
// Prints the date
System.out.println( "Date 2: " + dt2);
// Compares the date
System.out.println( "After comparison: "
+ dt2.isEqual(dt1));
}
} |
Output:
Date 1: 2018-11-03T12:45:30 Date 2: 2018-11-03T12:45:30 After comparison: true
Program 2:
// Program to illustrate the isEqual() method import java.util.*;
import java.time.*;
public class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Parses the date
LocalDateTime dt1
= LocalDateTime
.parse( "2010-12-05T12:50:30" );
// Prints the date
System.out.println( "Date 1: " + dt1);
// Parses the date
LocalDateTime dt2
= LocalDateTime
.parse( "2012-05-10T12:50:30" );
// Prints the date
System.out.println( "Date 2: " + dt2);
// Compares the date
System.out.println( "After comparison: "
+ dt2.isEqual(dt1));
}

Output:
Date 1: 2010-12-05T12:50:30 Date 2: 2012-05-10T12:50:30 After comparison: false
