Java Locale equals() Method
Description
The Java Locale equals(Object obj) method returns true if this Locale is equal to another object. A Locale is deemed equal to another Locale with identical language, country, and variant, and unequal to all other objects.
Declaration
Following is the declaration for java.util.Locale.equals() method
public boolean equals(Object obj)
Parameters
obj − the reference object with which to compare.
Return Value
This method returns true if this Locale is equal to the specified object.
Exception
NA
Checking Different Locales for Equality Example
The following example shows the usage of Java Locale equals() method. We're creating an instance of a Locale of US and printed it. Then another locale for Germany is created and locales are compared for equality using equals() method.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.Locale; public class LocaleDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a new locale Locale locale1 = new Locale("ENGLISH", "US"); // print this locale System.out.println("Locale1:" + locale1); // create a second locale Locale locale2 = new Locale("GERMANY", "GERMAN"); // compare two locales System.out.println("Locales are equal:" + locale1.equals(locale2)); } }
Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Locale1:english_US Locales are equal:false Locales are equal:true
Checking Same Locales for Equality Example
The following example shows the usage of Java Locale equals() method. We're creating an instance of a Locale of US and printed it. Then another locale for US is created and locales are compared for equality using equals() method.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.Locale; public class LocaleDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a new locale Locale locale1 = new Locale("ENGLISH", "US"); // print this locale System.out.println("Locale1:" + locale1); // create a second locale Locale locale2 = new Locale("ENGLISH", "US"); // compare two locales System.out.println("Locales are equal:" + locale1.equals(locale2)); } }
Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Locale1:english_US Locales are equal:true
