UUID equals() Method in Java with Examples
The equals() method of UUID class in Java is used to check for the equality of one UUID with another. The method returns True if both the UUID’s are exactly identical bit by bit.
Syntax:
public boolean equals(Object uuidObj)
Parameters: The method takes one parameter uuidObj to which the UUID_1 is to be compared.
Return Value: The method returns true if both the UUIDs are identical else false.
Below programs illustrate the working of equals() method:
Program 1:
import java.util.*;
public class UUID_Demo {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
UUID UUID_1
= UUID
.fromString(
"5fc03087-d265-11e7-b8c6-83e29cd24f4c" );
UUID UUID_2
= UUID
.fromString(
"5fc03087-d265-11e7-b8c6-83e29cd24f4c" );
System.out.println( "UUID_1: "
+ UUID_1.clockSequence());
System.out.println( "UUID_2: "
+ UUID_2.clockSequence());
System.out.println( "Are both UUID equal: "
+ UUID_1.equals(UUID_2));
}
}
|
Output:
UUID_1: 14534
UUID_2: 14534
Are both UUID equal: true
Program 2:
import java.util.*;
public class UUID_Demo {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
UUID UUID_1
= UUID
.fromString(
"5fc03087-d265-11e7-b8c6-83e29cd24f4c" );
UUID UUID_2
= UUID
.fromString(
"58e0a7d7-eebc-11d8-9669-0800200c9a66" );
System.out.println( "UUID_1: "
+ UUID_1.clockSequence());
System.out.println( "UUID_2: "
+ UUID_2.clockSequence());
System.out.println( "Are both UUID equal: "
+ UUID_1.equals(UUID_2));
}
}

Output:
UUID_1: 14534
UUID_2: 5737
Are both UUID equal: false
