The above method requires only one parameter:

The object that needs to be compared.

Return Value

The equals(Object obj) method returns true if the objects are same. Otherwise, the method returns false.

Example 1

public class JavaCharcterEqualsExample1 {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
	     //Create a Character
	      Character charValue = new Character('A');
	      // Create an Object
		Object obj = new Character('A');
	      // Test the equality for two values
		if (charValue.equals(obj)) {
		System.err.println("They are equal.");
		}
	        else {
		System.err.println("They are not equal.");
		     }
	      }  
	 }

public class JavaCharacterEqualsExample2 {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
	//Create a Character
	    Character charValue = new Character('B');
      // Create an Object
	    Object obj1 = new Character('C');
     // Test the equality for two values
	    if (charValue.equals(obj1)) {
	    System.err.println("They are equal.");
		}
           else {
	    System.err.println("They are not equal.");
			}
		     }  
		   }

They are not equal.

Example 3

public class JavaCharacterEqualsExample3 {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
    //Create a Character
      Character charValue = new Character('1');
     // Create an Object
      
      Object obj = new Character('1');
     // Test the equality for two values
       if (charValue.equals(obj)) {
	System.err.println("The numbers are equal.");
	}
     else {
	System.err.println("The numbers are not equal.");
	}
     }  
   }

Test it Now

Output:

The numbers are equal.

Example 4

public class JavaCharacterEqualsExample4 {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
    //Create a Character
      Character charValue = new Character('2');
     // Create an Object
      Object obj = new Character('3');
     // Test the equality for two values
       if (charValue.equals(obj)) {
	System.err.println("The numbers are equal.");
	}
        else {
	System.err.println("The numbers are not equal.");
     	}
     }  
   }

Test it Now
