LocalDateTime isEqual() method in Java


It can be checked if two LocalDateTime objects are equal or not using the isEqual() method in the LocalDateTime class in Java. This method requires a single parameter i.e. the LocalDateTime object that is to be compared. It returns true if the two LocalDateTime objects are equal and false otherwise.

A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −

Example

 Live Demo

import java.time.*;
public class Main {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      LocalDateTime ldt1 = LocalDateTime.parse("2019-02-18T23:15:30");
      LocalDateTime ldt2 = LocalDateTime.parse("2019-02-18T23:15:30");
      System.out.println("The LocalDateTime ldt1 is: " + ldt1);
      System.out.println("The LocalDateTime ldt2 is: " + ldt2);
      boolean flag = ldt1.isEqual(ldt2);
      if(flag)
         System.out.println("
Both LocalDateTime objects are equal");       else          System.out.println("
Both LocalDateTime objects are not equal");    } }

Output

The LocalDateTime ldt1 is: 2019-02-18T23:15:30
The LocalDateTime ldt2 is: 2019-02-18T23:15:30
Both LocalDateTime objects are equal

Now let us understand the above program.

The two LocalDateTime objects ldt1 and ldt2 are displayed. It is checked if the LocalDateTime objects are equal using the isEqual() method. The returned value is displayed using an if statement. A code snippet that demonstrates this is as follows −

LocalDateTime ldt1 = LocalDateTime.parse("2019-02-18T23:15:30");
LocalDateTime ldt2 = LocalDateTime.parse("2019-02-18T23:15:30");
System.out.println("The LocalDateTime ldt1 is: " + ldt1);
System.out.println("The LocalDateTime ldt2 is: " + ldt2);
boolean flag = ldt1.isEqual(ldt2);
if(flag)
   System.out.println("
Both LocalDateTime objects are equal"); else    System.out.println("
Both LocalDateTime objects are not equal");
