Java BitSet equals() Method



Description

The Java BitSet equals(Object obj) method compares this object against the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a Bitset object that has exactly the same set of bits set to true as this bit set. That is, for every nonnegative int index k,

Declaration

Following is the declaration for java.util.BitSet.equals() method

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Parameters

obj − the object to compare with.

Return Value

This method returns true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.

Exception

NA

Example 1

The following example shows the usage of Java BitSet and() method. We're creating two BitSets. We're setting true values at given indexes to the BitSet objects using set() method calls per index and using equals() method we're checking equality of the bitsets.

package com.tutorialspoint;
import java.util.BitSet;
public class BitSetDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create 2 bitsets
      BitSet bitset1 = new BitSet();
      BitSet bitset2 = new BitSet();

      // assign values to bitset1
      bitset1.set(0, 6, true);

      // assign values to bitset2
      bitset2.set(2);
      bitset2.set(4);
      bitset2.set(6);
      bitset2.set(8);
      bitset2.set(10);

      // print the sets
      System.out.println("Bitset1:" + bitset1);
      System.out.println("Bitset2:" + bitset2);
	  
      // check the equality
      System.out.println(bitset1.equals(bitset2));
   }
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

Bitset1:{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Bitset2:{2, 4, 6, 8, 10}
false

Example 2

The following example shows the usage of Java BitSet and() method. We're creating two BitSets using byte[] and using equals() method we're checking equality of the bitsets.

package com.tutorialspoint;
import java.util.BitSet;
public class BitSetDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create 2 bitsets
      BitSet bitset1 = BitSet.valueOf(new byte[] { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 });
      BitSet bitset2 = BitSet.valueOf(new byte[] { 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 });

      // print the sets
      System.out.println("Bitset1:" + bitset1);
      System.out.println("Bitset2:" + bitset2);

      // check the equality
      System.out.println(bitset1.equals(bitset2));
   }
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

Bitset1:{8, 17, 24, 25, 34, 40, 42}
Bitset2:{1, 10, 17, 18, 27, 33, 35}
false

Example 3

The following example shows the usage of Java BitSet and() method. We're creating two BitSets using long[] and using equals() method we're checking equality of the bitsets.

package com.tutorialspoint;
import java.util.BitSet;
public class BitSetDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create 2 bitsets
      BitSet bitset1 = BitSet.valueOf(new long[] { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 });
      BitSet bitset2 = BitSet.valueOf(new long[] { 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 });

      // print the sets
      System.out.println("Bitset1:" + bitset1);
      System.out.println("Bitset2:" + bitset2);

      // check the equality
      System.out.println(bitset1.equals(bitset2));
   }
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

Bitset1:{64, 129, 192, 193, 258, 320, 322}
Bitset2:{1, 66, 129, 130, 195, 257, 259}
false
