Short equals() method in Java with Examples

Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025

The

method of

is a built in method in Java which is used to compare the equality given Object with the instance of Short invoking the

method.

ShortObject.equals(Object a)

It takes an Object type object

as input which is to be compared with the instance of the Short object calling the

method.

It return an

value. It returns true if the value of 'a' is equal to the value of ShortObject. Below is the implementation of equals() method in Java:

// Java code to demonstrate
// Short equals() method

class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // creating a Short object
        Short a = new Short("20");

        // creating a Short object
        Short b = new Short("20");

        // equals method in Short class
        boolean output = a.equals(b);

        // Printing the output
        System.out.println("Does " + a
                           + " equals " + b
                           + " : " + output);
    }
}

Does 20 equals 20 : true

// Java code to demonstrate
// Short equals() method

class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // creating a Short object
        Short a = new Short("2");

        // creating a Short object
        Short b = new Short("20");

        // equals method in Short class
        boolean output = a.equals(b);

        // Printing the output
        System.out.println("Does " + a
                           + " equals " + b
                           + " : " + output);
    }
}

Does 2 equals 20 : false
