ParsePosition equals() method in Java with Example

Last Updated : 22 Jan, 2020

The equals() method of java.text.ParsePosition class is used to check if both the ParsePosition objects are same or not.

Syntax:

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Parameter: This method takes ParsePosition objects which will be compared with the current ParsePosition object.

Return Value: if both the ParsePosition objects are equal to each other than it will return true otherwise false.

Below are the examples to illustrate the equals() method:

Example 1:

// Java program to demonstrate 
// equals() method 
  
import java.text.*; 
import java.util.*; 
import java.io.*; 
  
public class GFG { 
    public static void main(String[] argv) 
    { 
        try { 
  
            // Creating and initializing 
            // new ParsePosition Object 
            ParsePosition pos_1 
                = new ParsePosition(0); 
  
            // Creating and initializing 
            // new ParsePosition Object 
            ParsePosition pos_2 
                = new ParsePosition(0); 
  
            // compare both object 
            // using equals() mehtod 
            boolean i = pos_1.equals(pos_2); 
  
            // display result 
            if (i) 
                System.out.println( 
                    "pos_1 is equals to pos_2"); 
            else
                System.out.println( 
                    "pos_1 is not equal to pos_2"); 
        } 
  
        catch (ClassCastException e) { 
  
            System.out.println(e); 
        } 
    } 
} 

Output:

pos_1 is equals to pos_2

Example 2:

// Java program to demonstrate 
// equals() method 
  
import java.text.*; 
import java.util.*; 
import java.io.*; 
  
public class GFG { 
    public static void main(String[] argv) 
    { 
        try { 
  
            // Creating and initializing 
            // new ParsePosition Object 
            ParsePosition pos_1 
                = new ParsePosition(0); 
  
            // Creating and initializing 
            // new ParsePosition Object 
            ParsePosition pos_2 
                = new ParsePosition(1); 
  
            // compare both object 
            // using equals() mehtod 
            boolean i = pos_1.equals(pos_2); 
  
            // display result 
            if (i) 
                System.out.println( 
                    "pos_1 is equals to pos_2"); 
            else
                System.out.println( 
                    "pos_1 is not equal to pos_2"); 
        } 
  
        catch (ClassCastException e) { 
  
            System.out.println(e); 
        } 
    } 
} 

Output:

pos_1 is not equal to pos_2
