Java UUID - equals() Method
The java.util.UUID.equals() method is used to compare this object to the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null, is a UUID object, has the same variant, and contains the same value, bit for bit, as this UUID.
Syntax
public boolean equals(Object obj)
Parameters
obj |
Specify the object to be compared. |
Return Value
Returns true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.
Exception
NA.
Example:
In the example below, the java.util.UUID.equals() method is used to compare given UUIDs.
import java.util.*;
public class MyClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//creating UUIDs
UUID uid1 = UUID.fromString("d81e4f2e-cdf2-10e6-529b-7df92533d1cb");
UUID uid2 = UUID.fromString("d81e4f2e-cdf2-10e6-529b-7df92533d1cb");
UUID uid3 = UUID.fromString("c50e4f2e-cdf2-10e6-529b-7df92533d1cb");
//comparing uuids
System.out.println("Is uid1 equal to uid2: " + uid1.equals(uid2));
System.out.println("Is uid1 equal to uid3: " + uid1.equals(uid3));
}
}
The output of the above code will be:
Is uid1 equal to uid2: true Is uid1 equal to uid3: false
