Below examples illustrate the Duration.equals() method:
Example 1:
// Java code to illustrate equals() method  import java.time.Duration;  public class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {          // Duration using parse() method        Duration duration1            = Duration.parse("P2DT3H4M");          // Duration using ofDays() method        Duration duration2            = Duration.ofDays(10);          // Compare the durations        // using equals() method        System.out.println(duration1                               .equals(duration2));    }} |
Output:
false
Example 2:
// Java code to illustrate equals() method  import java.time.Duration;  public class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {          // Duration using ofHours() method        Duration duration1            = Duration.ofHours(5);          // Duration using ofHours() method        Duration duration2            = Duration.ofHours(5);          // Compare the durations        // using equals() method        System.out.println(duration1                               .equals(duration2));    }} |
Output:
true
Example 3:
// Java code to illustrate equals() method  import java.time.Duration;  public class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {          // Duration using ofDays() method        Duration duration1            = Duration.ofDays(5);          // Duration using ofHours() method        Duration duration2            = Duration.ofHours(5);          // Compare the durations        // using equals() method        System.out.println(duration1                               .equals(duration2));    }} |
Output:
false
