(since C++14)

Function object for performing comparisons. Unless specialised, invokes operator == on type T .

Specializations

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

function object implementing x == y deducing parameter and return types
(class template specialization)

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 inheriting std:: binary_function < T, T, bool > .

(until C++11)

Member functions

operator()
checks if the arguments are equal
(public member function)

std::equal_to:: operator()

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

Checks whether lhs is equal to rhs .

Parameters

lhs, rhs - values to compare

Return value

true if lhs == rhs , false otherwise.

Exceptions

May throw implementation-defined exceptions.

Possible implementation

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