The equals() method of java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentSkipListSet is an inbuilt function in Java which compares the specified object with this set for equality. It returns True if the specified object is also a set. The two sets will said to be equal if they satisfies all of the conditions stated below:
Java
Java
- The two sets have the same size.
- Every member of the specified set is contained in this set.
ConcurrentSkipListSet.equals(Object o)Parameters: The function returns a single parameter o i.e. the object to be compared for equality with this set Return Value: The function returns boolean value. It returns true if the specified object is equal to this set, otherwise returns false. Below programs illustrate the ConcurrentSkipListSet.equals() method: Program 1: In this example both the set are equal.
// Java Program Demonstrate equals()
// method of ConcurrentSkipListSet
import java.util.NavigableSet;
import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentSkipListSet;
class ConcurrentSkipListSetEqualsExample1 {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Initializing the set
ConcurrentSkipListSet<Integer>
set = new ConcurrentSkipListSet<Integer>();
// Adding elements to this set
set.add(10);
set.add(35);
set.add(20);
set.add(25);
// Creating a descending set object
NavigableSet<Integer> des_set = set.descendingSet();
// Checking if the set and des
if (set.equals(des_set))
System.out.println("Both the sets are equal");
else
System.out.println("Both the sets are not equal");
// Printing the elements of the set
System.out.println("Contents of the set: " + set);
// Printing the elements of the descending set
System.out.println("Contents of the descending set: " +
des_set);
}
}
Output:
Program 2: In this example both the set are not equal
Both the sets are equal Contents of the set: [10, 20, 25, 35] Contents of the descending set: [35, 25, 20, 10]
// Java Program Demonstrate equals()
// method of ConcurrentSkipListSet
import java.util.NavigableSet;
import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentSkipListSet;
class ConcurrentSkipListSetEqualsExample2 {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Initializing the set
ConcurrentSkipListSet<Integer>
set1 = new ConcurrentSkipListSet<Integer>();
ConcurrentSkipListSet<Integer>
set2 = new ConcurrentSkipListSet<Integer>();
// Adding elements to first set
set1.add(10);
set1.add(35);
set1.add(20);
set1.add(25);
// Adding elements to second set
set2.add(35);
set2.add(20);
set2.add(25);
// Checking if the set and des
if (set1.equals(set2))
System.out.println("Both the sets are equal");
else
System.out.println("Both the sets are not equal");
// Printing the elements of the set
System.out.println("Contents of the first set: " +
set1);
// Printing the elements of the descending set
System.out.println("Contents of the second set: " +
set2);
}
}
