Last Updated :
20 Dec, 2022
The equals() method of java.text.MessageFormat class is used to check if both the MessageFormat objects are same or not.
Syntax:
public boolean equals(Object obj)
Parameter: This method takes MessageFormat objects which will be compared with the current MessageFormat object.
Return Value: if both the MessageFormat 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 {
MessageFormat mf1
= new MessageFormat( "{0, date, #}, {1, time, #}, {0, number}" );
MessageFormat mf2
= new MessageFormat( "{0, date, #}, {1, time, #}, {0, number}" );
boolean i = mf1.equals(mf2);
if (i)
System.out.println(
"mf1 is equals to mf2" );
else
System.out.println(
"mf1 is not equal to mf2" );
}
catch (ClassCastException e) {
System.out.println( "Exception thrown : " + e);
}
}
}
|
Output:
mf1 is equals to mf2
Example 2:
Java
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] argv)
{
try {
MessageFormat mf1
= new MessageFormat( "{0, date, #}, {1, time, #}, {0, number}" );
MessageFormat mf2
= new MessageFormat( "{0, date, #}, {0, time, #}, {0, number}" );
boolean i = mf1.equals(mf2);
if (i)
System.out.println(
"mf1 is equals to mf2" );
else
System.out.println(
"mf1 is not equal to mf2" );
}
catch (ClassCastException e) {
System.out.println( "Exception thrown : " + e);
}
}
}

Output:
mf1 is not equal to mf2
