{

    // Main method
    def main(args:Array[String])
    {

        // Creating sets
        val s1 = Set("geeks", "for", "cs")
        val s2 = Set("cs", "for", "geeks")

        // Applying equals method

        // Displays output
        println(result)

    }
}

Output:

true

Example #2:

// Scala program of equals()
// method

// Creating object
object GfG
{

    // Main method
    def main(args:Array[String])
    {

        // Creating sets
        val s1 = Set(11, 10, 2019)
        val s2 = Set(9, 10, 2018)

        // Applying equals method
        val result = s1.equals(s2)

        // Displays output
        println(result)
