YearDemo.java

import java.time.Year;

public class YearDemo
{

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Year year1 = Year.of(2014);
        System.out.println("year1 = "+year1);
       
        Year year2 = Year.of(2018);
        System.out.println("year2 = "+year2);

        /*
         * Parameters:
         *
         * obj - the object to check, null returns false
         *
         * Returns:
         *
         * true if this is equal to the other year
         */
        boolean isEqual = year1.equals(year2);
        System.out.println(year1+" is equal to "+year2+" = "+isEqual);

        /*
         * Parameters:
         *
         * other - the other year to compare to, not null
         *
         * Returns:
         *
         * the comparator value, negative if less, positive if greater
         */

        int result = year1.compareTo(year2);
        System.out.println(year1+" compare to "+year2+" = "+result);
    }

}

Output

year1 = 2014
year2 = 2018
2014 is equal to 2018 = false
2014 compare to 2018 = -4
