**`AbstractMap.equals()`** is a method of the `AbstractMap` class in Java. The method is used to check if two maps are equal or not.


# 
#  Syntax
```java
public boolean equals(Object obj)
```
# 
#  Parameters

The function takes in one parameter:

* **`obj`**: An object to be compared with the map.
##
## Return value

The function returns `true` if the maps are equal, and returns `false` if the maps are different.

##
## Code

import java.util.*;
  
public class Abstract_Map_Class{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // 2 empty AbstractMap are created
        AbstractMap<Integer, String> temp_absMap1 = new TreeMap<Integer, String>();
        AbstractMap<Integer, String> temp_absMap2 = new TreeMap<Integer, String>();
    
        // populating temp_absMap1
        temp_absMap1.put(1, "Hello");
        temp_absMap1.put(2, "from");
        temp_absMap1.put(3, "Educative");

        // populating temp_absMap2
        temp_absMap2.put(1, "Hello");
        temp_absMap2.put(2, "from");
        temp_absMap2.put(3, "Edpresso");
        
        System.out.println("Displaying temp_absMap1 : " + temp_absMap1);
        System.out.println("Displaying temp_absMap2 : " + temp_absMap2); 
        System.out.println("the result of temp_absMap1.equals(temp_absMap2) is "  + temp_absMap1.equals(temp_absMap2));
    }
}

What is AbstractMap.equals() in Java?

AbstractMap.equals() checks if two maps are equal, returning true if they are and false otherwise.
