The following example shows the usage of java.lang.Float.equals() method.

import java.lang.*;

public class FloatDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // compares this object against the specified object
      Float obj1 = new Float("10");
      Float obj2 = new Float("10.0");
      System.out.print(obj1 + " = " + obj2);
      System.out.println(" ?  " + obj1.equals(obj2));

      obj1 = new Float("20");
      obj2 = new Float("67.20");
      System.out.print(obj1 + " = " + obj2);
      System.out.println(" ?  " + obj1.equals(obj2));  
   }
