      System.out.println(ldt1 + " is equal to " + ldt2);
    }

    if (ldt1.isAfter(ldt2)) {
      System.out.println(ldt1 + " is after " + ldt2);
    } else if (ldt1.isBefore(ldt2)) {
      System.out.println(ldt1 + " is before " + ldt2);
    } else if (ldt1.isEqual(ldt2)) {
      System.out.println(ldt1 + " is equal to " + ldt2);
    }
