The
java.math.BigInteger.equals(Object x) method compares this BigInteger with the object passed as the parameter and returns true in both are equal in value else it returns false.
Syntax:
public boolean equals(Object x)
Parameter: This method accepts a single mandatory parameter
x which is the Object to which BigInteger Object is to be compared.
Returns: This method returns boolean true if and only if the Object passed as parameter is a BigInteger whose value is equal to the BigInteger Object on which the method is applied. Otherwise it will return false.
Examples:
Input: BigInteger1=2345, BigInteger2=7456
Output: false
Explanation: BigInteger1.equals(BigInteger2)=false.
Input: BigInteger1=7356, BigInteger2=7456
Output: true
Explanation: BigInteger1.equals(BigInteger2)=true.
Below programs illustrate equals() method of BigInteger class:
Example 1: When both are equal in value.
Output:
BigInteger1 321456 and BigInteger2 321456 are equal
Example 2: When both are not equal in value.
Output:
BigInteger1 321456 and BigInteger2 456782 are not equal
Example 3: When object passed as parameter is other than BigInteger.
