import java.util.*;

    Date date1 = new Date(22, 9, 16);
    Date date2 = new Date(21, 10, 15);
    Date date3 = new Date(21, 10, 15);

    boolean result;

    result = date1.equals(date2);
    if (result == true)
      System.out.println("Both are equal");
    else
      System.out.println("The date1 and date2 are not equal");

    result = date2.equals(date3);
    if (result == true)
      System.out.println("Both are equal");
    else
      System.out.println("The date2 and date3 are not equal");
  }
}

Output:

The date1 and date2 are not equal
Both are equal

Explanation:

In the above program, we imported the "java.util.*" package to use the Date class. Here, we created a class Main that contains a static method main(). The main() method is the entry point for the program, here we created three objects of the Date class with specified dates. Then we compared created objects using the equals() method and printed appropriate messages.
