// Java program to demonstrate
// WeekFields.equals() method

import java.time.DayOfWeek;
import java.time.temporal.WeekFields;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // create WeekFields
        WeekFields weekFields
            = WeekFields.of(DayOfWeek.MONDAY, 1);
        WeekFields otherWeekFields
            = WeekFields.of(DayOfWeek.MONDAY, 1);

        // apply equals()
        boolean bothAreEquals
            = weekFields.equals(otherWeekFields);

        // print results
        System.out.println("Equals: "
                           + bothAreEquals);
    }
}

Output:

Equals: true

Program 2:

// Java program to demonstrate
// WeekFields.equals() method

import java.time.DayOfWeek;
import java.time.temporal.WeekFields;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // create WeekFields
        WeekFields weekFields
            = WeekFields.of(DayOfWeek.MONDAY, 1);
        WeekFields otherWeekFields
            = WeekFields.of(DayOfWeek.SUNDAY, 3);

        // apply equals()
        boolean bothAreEquals
            = weekFields.equals(otherWeekFields);

        // print results
        System.out.println("Equals: "
                           + bothAreEquals);
