[edit]

Defined in header`<functional>`
template<class T> struct equal_to;		(until C++14)
template<class T=void> struct equal_to;		(since C++14)

Function object for performing comparisons. Unless specialised, invokesoperator== on typeT.

[edit]Specializations

The standard library provides a specialization ofstd::equal_to whenT is not specified, which leaves the parameter types and return type to be deduced.

equal_to<void>

(C++14)

function object implementingx== y deducing parameter and return types
(class template specialization)[edit]

(since C++14)

[edit]Member types

Type	Definition
`result_type`(deprecated in C++17)(removed in C++20)	bool
`first_argument_type`(deprecated in C++17)(removed in C++20)	`T`
`second_argument_type`(deprecated in C++17)(removed in C++20)	`T`

These member types are obtained via publicly inheritingstd::binary_function<T, T,bool>.

(until C++11)

[edit]Member functions

operator()

checks if the arguments areequal
(public member function)

std::equal_to::operator()

bool operator()(const T& lhs,const T& rhs)const;		(constexpr since C++14)

Checks whetherlhs isequal torhs.

Parameters

lhs, rhs

values to compare

Return value

true iflhs== rhs,false otherwise.

[edit]Exceptions

May throw implementation-defined exceptions.

Possible implementation

constexprbool operator()(const T& lhs,const T& rhs)const{return lhs== rhs;}
