Scala SortedMap equals() method with example

The equals() method is utilized to check whether the two SortedMaps have the same key-values pair or not.

Method Definition: def equals(that: Any): Boolean

Return Type: It returns true if the key-value pairs of both the SortedMaps are same else it returns false.

Example #1:

// Scala program of equals()
// method
import scala.collection.immutable.SortedMap

// Creating object
object GfG
{

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

        // Creating SortedMaps
        val m1 = SortedMap("geeks" -> 5, "for" -> 3, "cs"-> 2)
        val m2 = SortedMap("cs" -> 2, "for" -> 3, "geeks"-> 5)

        // Applying equals method
        val result = m1.equals(m2)

        // Displays output
        println(result)

    }
}

Output:

true

Example #2:

// Scala program of equals()
// method
import scala.collection.immutable.SortedMap

// Creating object
object GfG
{

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

        // Creating SortedMaps
        val m1 = SortedMap("geeks" -> 5, "for" -> 3, "cs"-> 2)
        val m2 = SortedMap("cs" -> 2, "fo" -> 2, "geeks"-> 5)

        // Applying equals method
        val result = m1.equals(m2)

        // Displays output
        println(result)

    }
}

Output:

false
