public class JavaInetAddressEqualsExample1{
    public static void main(String[] args){
        try{
            InetAddress ip=InetAddress.getByName("www.javatpoint.com");
            InetAddress ip1=InetAddress.getByName("www.javatpoint.com");
            System.out.println("Host Name 1: "+ip.getHostName());
            System.out.println("Host Name 2: "+ip1.getHostName());
            if(ip.equals(ip1)){
                System.out.println("Both are equals");
            }
            else{
                System.out.println("Both the Inet Address are unequal");
            }
        }catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);}
    }
}

Output:

Host Name 1: www.javatpoint.com
Host Name 2: www.javatpoint.com
Both are equals

Example 2

import java.net.InetAddress;
public class JavaInetAddressEqualsExample2{
    public static void main(String[] args){
        try{
            InetAddress ip=InetAddress.getByName("www.javatpoint.com");
            InetAddress ip1=InetAddress.getByName("www.google.com");
            System.out.println("Host Name 1: "+ip.getHostName());
            System.out.println("Host Name 2: "+ip1.getHostName());
            if(ip.equals(ip1)){
                System.out.println("Both are equals");
            }
            else{
                System.out.println("Both the Inet Addresses are unequal");
            }
        }catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);}
    }
}
