Java BigDecimal equals() Method

The equals() method of Java BigDecimal class is used to Compare this BigDecimal with the specified Object for equality. In this method, two BigDecimal objects are found to be equal if they are equal in value and scale.

Note: 2.0 is not equal to 2.00 when compared by this method.

Syntax:

Parameter:

x: Object to which this BigDecimal is to be compared.

Exception:

Returns:

It returns true if and only if the specified Object is a BigDecimal whose value and scale are equal to this BigDecimal.

Example 1

import java.math.BigDecimal;
public class BigDecimalEqualsExample1 {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
                // Create BigDecimal objects
	     BigDecimal bdValue_1, bdValue_2;
	      
               // Create boolean variable
	      boolean equalStatus;
	      
	      //Assigning Values into BigDecimal objects
	      bdValue_1 = new BigDecimal("125.00");
	      bdValue_2 = new BigDecimal("125.0");

	      // It will return boolean (true/false)
	      equalStatus = bdValue_1.equals(bdValue_2);
	      
	      // Displaying result of equals method (true/false)
	      System.out.println( " Are these two BigDecimal objects same? : " +equalStatus);
	}
}

Test it Now

Output:

Are these two BigDecimal objects same? : false

Example 2

import java.math.BigDecimal;  
import java.math.MathContext; 
public class BigDecimalEqualsExample2 {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
		  // Create BigDecimal objects
	      BigDecimal bdValue_1, bdValue_2;
	   
          // Create boolean variable
	      boolean equalStatus;
	      
	      //Assigning Values into BigDecimal objects
	      bdValue_1 = new BigDecimal("45.0");
	      bdValue_2 = new BigDecimal("45.0");

	      // It will return boolean (true/false)
	      equalStatus = bdValue_1.equals(bdValue_2);
	      
	      // Displaying result of equals method (true/false)
	      System.out.println( " Are these two BigDecimal objects same? : " +equalStatus);
	}
}

Test it Now

Output:

Are these two BigDecimal objects same? : true

Example 3

import java.math.BigDecimal;
  public class BigDecimalEqualsExample3 {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
		 // Create BigDecimal objects
	     BigDecimal bdValue_1, bdValue_2;
	           
	      //Assigning Values into BigDecimal objects
	      bdValue_1 = new BigDecimal("444.67");
	      bdValue_2 = new BigDecimal("444.670");

       if(bdValue_1.equals(bdValue_2) ) {
	      // Displaying message if both objects are same
	      System.out.println( " These two BigDecimal objects are Same (True)");
       }
       else {
    	  // Displaying message if both objects are not same
    	   System.out.println("These two BigDecimal objects are Not Same (False) ");
       }
	}
}

Test it Now

Output:

These two BigDecimal objects are Not Same (False)

Example 4

import java.math.BigDecimal;
public class BigDecimalEqualsExample4 {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
                 // Create BigDecimal objects
	      BigDecimal bdValue_1, bdValue_2;
	           
	      //Assigning Values into BigDecimal objects
	      bdValue_1 = new BigDecimal("6587.390");
	      bdValue_2 = new BigDecimal("6587.390");

       if(bdValue_1.equals(bdValue_2) ) {
	      // Displaying message if both objects are same
	      System.out.println( " These two BigDecimal objects are Same (True)");
       }
       else {
    	  // Displaying message if both objects are not same
    	   System.out.println("These two BigDecimal objects are Not Same (False) ");
       }
	}
}

Test it Now

Output:

These two BigDecimal objects are Same (True)
