How to compare if two dates are equal in Java?

In Java, you can use the equals() method to compare if two date objects are equal. Below is an example code for comparing two java.util.Date objects for equality.

import java.util.Date;

public class DateComparison {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Date date1 = new Date();
        Date date2 = new Date();

        // 使用equals()方法比较两个日期是否相等
        boolean isEqual = date1.equals(date2);
        System.out.println("Dates are equal: " + isEqual);
    }
}

For a more precise comparison of dates, you can use the java.time.LocalDate or java.time.LocalDateTime classes. Below is an example code for comparing if two java.time.LocalDate objects are equal.

import java.time.LocalDate;

public class LocalDateComparison {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        LocalDate date1 = LocalDate.now();
        LocalDate date2 = LocalDate.now();

        // 使用equals()方法比较两个LocalDate是否相等
        boolean isEqual = date1.equals(date2);
        System.out.println("Dates are equal: " + isEqual);
    }
}

Please make sure that the time parts of java.util.Date or java.time.LocalDate objects are the same when comparing them, otherwise they will be considered as unequal.
