NumberFormat nF1
= NumberFormat
.getCurrencyInstance();

System.out.println( "Yes both are not equal" );
}
} |
Yes both are equal

public static void main(String[] args)
throws Exception
{
// Get the Currency Instance
NumberFormat nF1
= NumberFormat
.getCurrencyInstance();
// Get the Instance
NumberFormat nF2
= NumberFormat
.getInstance();
// Check if equal or not
if (nF1.equals(nF2))
System.out.println( "Yes both are equal" );
else
