Byte equals() method in Java with examples
The equals() method of Byte class is a built in method in Java which is used to compare the equality given Object with the instance of Byte invoking the equals() method.
Syntax
ByteObject.equals(Object a)
Parameters: It takes an Object type object a as input which is to be compared with the instance of the Byte object calling the equals method.
Return Value: It return an boolean value. It returns true if the value of ‘a’ is equal to the value of ByteObject.
Below is the implementation of equals() method in Java:
Example 1:
// Java code to demonstrate// Byte equals() method  class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {          // creating a Byte object        Byte a = new Byte("20");          // creating a Byte object        Byte b = new Byte("20");          // equals method in Byte class        boolean output = a.equals(b);          // Printing the output        System.out.println("Does " + a + " equals "                           + b + " : " + output);    }} |
Output:
Does 20 equals 20 : true
Example 2:
// Java code to demonstrate// Byte equals() method  class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {          // creating a Byte object        Byte a = new Byte("2");          // creating a Byte object        Byte b = new Byte("20");          // equals method in Byte class        boolean output = a.equals(b);          // Printing the output        System.out.println("Does " + a + " equals "                           + b + " : " + output);    }} |
Output:
Does 2 equals 20 : false
