Java - Float Class equals() Method

Float class equals() method: Here, we are going to learn about the equals() method of Float class with its syntax and example. By Preeti Jain Last updated : March 21, 2024

Float class equals() method

equals() method is available in java.lang package.
equals() method is used to check equality or inequality of this Object against the given Object or in other words we can say this method is used to compare two objects.
equals() method is a non-static method, it is accessible with the class object only and if we try to access the method with the class name then we will get an error.
equals() method does not throw an exception at the time of comparing two Objects.

Syntax

public boolean equals(Object ob);

Parameters

Object ob – represents the Object to compare with.

Return Value

The return type of this method is boolean, it returns a boolean value, if both objects are same it returns true, else it returns false.

Example

// Java program to demonstrate the example 
// of boolean equals(Object ob) method of 
// Float class

public class EqualsOfFloatClass {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Variables initialization
        Float ob1 = new Float(10.0f);
        Float ob2 = new Float(20.0f);

        // Display value1,value2 values
        System.out.println("ob1: " + ob1);
        System.out.println("ob2: " + ob2);

        // It compare two objects of Float type
        // by calling ob1.equals(ob2)
        boolean compare = ob1.equals(ob2);

        // Display result values
        System.out.println("ob1.equals(ob2): " + compare);

        if (compare == true)
            System.out.println("Both objects are equal");
        else
            System.out.println("Both objects are not equal");
    }
}

Output

ob1: 10.0
ob2: 20.0
ob1.equals(ob2): false
Both objects are not equal
