Program below demonstrates the above mentioned function:

Program 1:

// program to demonstrate the
// function java.util.SimpleTimeZone.hasSameRules()

import java.util.*;

public class GFG {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // create first simple time zone object
        SimpleTimeZone obj1
            = new SimpleTimeZone(720, "US");

        // create second simple time zone object
        SimpleTimeZone obj2
            = new SimpleTimeZone(800, "GMT");

        // check rules for both objects and print the result
        System.out.println("Hash same rule = "
                           + obj1.hasSameRules(obj2));
    }
}

Output:

Hash same rule = false

Program 2:

// program to demonstrate the
// function java.util.SimpleTimeZone.hasSameRules()
import java.util.*;

public class GFG {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // create first simple time zone object
        SimpleTimeZone obj1
            = new SimpleTimeZone(720, "US");

        // create second simple time zone object
        SimpleTimeZone obj2
            = new SimpleTimeZone(720, "GMT");

        // check rules for both objects and print the result
        System.out.println("Hash same rule = "
                           + obj1.hasSameRules(obj2));
    }
}

Output:

Hash same rule = true
