Java Boolean compare() method

Last Updated : 17 Mar 2025

The compare() method of Java Boolean class compares the two Boolean values (x and y) and returns an integer value based on the result of this method.

Syntax:

Parameters:

Here, x(first boolean) and y( second boolean) are two boolean parameters passed which are compared.

Return Value:

This method returns an integer value.

It returns value 0, if x==y.
It returns positive value, if x is true and y is false.
It returns a negative value, if x is false and y is true.

Example 1

Example

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Boolean b1 = true;
        Boolean b2 = false;
        int b3 = Boolean.compare(b1,b2);
        if(b3==0){
            System.out.println("Both values are equal");
        }
        else if(b3>0){
            System.out.println("b1 value is true");
        }
        else{
            System.out.println("b2 value is true");
        }
    }
}

Compile and Run

Output:

b1 value is true

Example 2

import java.util.Scanner;

public class BooleanCompareExample2 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

        int a,b;
        System.out.println("Enter two no.s");
        System.out.print("I no :");a = scanner.nextInt();
        System.out.print("II no :");b = scanner.nextInt();

            Boolean b1=(a>b)?true:false;
            Boolean b2=(a<b)?true:false;
            int val =Boolean.compare(b1,b2);
            if(val>0){
                System.out.println(a+" is greater");
                }
                else if(val==0){
                System.out.println(a+" and "+b+" are equal.");
            }
                else{
                System.out.println(b+" is greater");
            }

    }
}

Output:

Enter two no.s
I no :89
II no :98
98 is greater

Example 3

import java.util.Scanner;

public class BooleanCompareExample3 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner scanner=new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Enter your percentage: ");
        Double a = scanner.nextDouble();
        boolean b1= true;
        boolean b2=false;
        if(a>=75){
              b2=true;
            }
            int b3 = Boolean.compare(b1,b2);
        if(b3==0){
            System.out.println("Congratulations! you are eligible for the interview");
            }
            else{
            System.out.println("Sorry! Your percentage is lower than our requirement. ");
        }



    }
}

Output:

Enter your percentage: 74.9999
Sorry! Your percentage is lower than our requirement.
