Java NIO - How is Files.isSameFile different from Path.equals

Question

I could not understand how java.nio.file.Files.isSameFile method is different from java.nio.file.Path.equals method.

Could anybody please tell how they are different?

Answer 1

isSameFile is from java.nio.file.Files and Path.equals is from java.nio.file.Path

isSameFile --> Tests if two paths locate the same file. ie) checks two Path objects are for the same file equals --> Tests this path for equality with the given object.
