Below programs illustrate the isEqual() method of ChronoLocalDate in Java:

Program 1:

// Program to illustrate the isEqual() method
  
import java.util.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
  
public class GfG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Parses the first date
        ChronoLocalDate dt1
            = LocalDate.parse("2018-11-27");
  
        // Parses the second date
        ChronoLocalDate dt2
            = LocalDate.parse("2018-11-27");
  
        // Check if these two are equal
        System.out.println(dt1.isEqual(dt2));
    }
}

Output:

true

Program 2:

// Program to illustrate the isEqual() method
  
import java.util.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
  
public class GfG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Parses the first date
        ChronoLocalDate dt1
            = LocalDate.parse("2018-11-27");
  
        // Parses the second date
        ChronoLocalDate dt2
            = LocalDate.parse("2015-11-27");
  
        // Check if these two are equal
        System.out.println(dt1.isEqual(dt2));
    }
}
