Defined in header <functional>
struct equal_to ;
(since C++20)

Function object for performing comparisons. The parameter types of the function call operator (but not the return type) are deduced from the arguments.

std::ranges::equal_to:: operator()

template < class T, class U >
constexpr bool operator ( ) ( T && t, U && u ) const ;

Given the expression std:: forward < T > ( t ) == std:: forward < U > ( u ) as expr :

  • Otherwise:

This overload participates in overload resolution only if std:: equality_comparable_with < T, U > is satisfied.

Notes

Compared to std::equal_to , std::ranges::equal_to additionally requires != to be valid, and that both argument types are required to be (homogeneously) comparable with themselves (via the equality_comparable_with constraint).
