ThaiBuddhistDate equals() method in Java with Example

The equals() method of java.time.chrono.ThaiBuddhistDate class is used to compare two ThaiBuddhist dates and check if both are same or not.

Syntax:

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Parameter: This method takes an equivalent object as a parameter to compare with this ThaiBuddhistdate.

Return Value: This method returns true if both the dates are equal otherwise false.

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

Example 1:

// Java program to demonstrate 
// equals() method 
  
import java.util.*; 
import java.io.*; 
import java.time.*; 
import java.time.chrono.*; 
  
public class GFG { 
    public static void main(String[] argv) 
    { 
        try { 
  
            // Creating and initializing 
            // ThaiBuddhistDate Object 
            ThaiBuddhistDate hidate1 
                = ThaiBuddhistDate.now(); 
  
            // Creating and initializing 
            // ThaiBuddhistDate Object 
            ThaiBuddhistDate hidate2 
                = ThaiBuddhistDate.now(); 
  
            // Comparing both date 
            // by using equals() method 
            boolean status 
                = hidate1.equals(hidate2); 
  
            // Display the result 
            if (status) 
                System.out.println( 
                    "Both dates are equal"); 
            else
                System.out.println( 
                    "Both dates are not equal"); 
        } 
        catch (DateTimeException e) { 
            System.out.println( 
                "Passed parameter can"
                + " not form a date"); 
            System.out.println( 
                "Exception thrown: " + e); 
        } 
    } 
} 

Output:

Both dates are equal

Example 2:

// Java program to demonstrate 
// equals() method 
  
import java.util.*; 
import java.io.*; 
import java.time.*; 
import java.time.chrono.*; 
  
public class GFG { 
    public static void main(String[] argv) 
    { 
        try { 
  
            // Creating and initializing 
            // ThaiBuddhistDate Object 
            ThaiBuddhistDate hidate1 
                = ThaiBuddhistDate.now(); 
  
            // Creating and initializing 
            // ThaiBuddhistDate Object 
            ThaiBuddhistDate hidate2 
                = ThaiBuddhistDate.of(2008, 03, 23); 
  
            // Comparing both date 
            // by using equals() method 
            boolean status 
                = hidate1.equals(hidate2); 
  
            // Display the result 
            if (status) 
                System.out.println( 
                    "Both dates are equal"); 
            else
                System.out.println( 
                    "Both dates are not equal"); 
        } 
        catch (DateTimeException e) { 
            System.out.println( 
                "Passed parameter can"
                + " not form a date"); 
            System.out.println( 
                "Exception thrown: " + e); 
        } 
    } 
} 

Output:

Both dates are not equal
