1,3) Returns true if the range [first1, last1) is equal to the range [first2,
first2
+ (last1 - first1)), and false otherwise.
5,7) Returns true if the range [first1, last1) is equal to the range [first2,
last2), and false otherwise.
2,4,6,8) Same as (1,3,5,7), but executed according to policy. These overloads
do not
participate in overload resolution unless
std::is_execution_policy_v<std::decay_t<ExecutionPolicy>>
(until C++20)
std::is_execution_policy_v<std::remove_cvref_t<ExecutionPolicy>>
(since C++20) is true.
Two ranges are considered equal if they have the same number of elements and,
for
every iterator i in the range [first1,last1), *i equals *(first2 + (i -
first1)).
The overloads (1,2,5,6) use operator== to determine if two elements are
equal,
whereas overloads (3,4,7,8) use the given binary predicate p.
Parameters¶
first1, last1 - the first range of the elements to compare
first2, last2 - the second range of the elements to compare
policy - the execution policy to use. See execution policy for details.
binary predicate which returns true if the elements should be
treated as equal.
The signature of the predicate function should be equivalent to the
following:
bool pred(const Type1 &a, const Type2 &b);
p - While the signature does not need to have const &, the function must
not modify the objects passed to it and must be able to accept all
values of type (possibly const) Type1 and Type2 regardless of value
category (thus, Type1 & is not allowed
, nor is Type1 unless for Type1 a move is equivalent to a copy
(since C++11)).
The types Type1 and Type2 must be such that objects of types
InputIt1 and InputIt2 can be dereferenced and then implicitly
converted to Type1 and Type2 respectively.
Type requirements¶
-
InputIt1, InputIt2 must meet the requirements of LegacyInputIterator.
-
ForwardIt1, ForwardIt2 must meet the requirements of
LegacyForwardIterator.
Return value¶
5-8) If the length of the range [first1, last1) does not equal
the length of the
range [first2, last2), returns false
If the elements in the two ranges are equal, returns true.
Otherwise returns false.
Notes¶
std::equal should not be used to compare the ranges formed by the
iterators from
std::unordered_set, std::unordered_multiset, std::unordered_map, or
std::unordered_multimap because the order in which the elements are stored in
those
containers may be different even if the two containers store the same
elements.
When comparing entire containers for equality, operator== for the
corresponding
container are usually preferred.
Complexity¶
1,3) At most last1 - first1 applications of the predicate
5,7) At most min(last1 - first1, last2 - first2) applications of the
predicate.
However, if InputIt1 and InputIt2 meet the requirements of
LegacyRandomAccessIterator and last1 - first1 != last2 - first2 then no
applications
of the predicate are made (size mismatch is detected without looking at any
elements).
2,4,6,8) same, but the complexity is specified as O(x), rather than "at
most x"
Exceptions¶
The overloads with a template parameter named ExecutionPolicy
report errors as
follows:
* If execution of a function invoked as part of the algorithm throws an
exception
and ExecutionPolicy is one of the standard policies, std::terminate is
called.
For any other ExecutionPolicy, the behavior is implementation-defined.
* If the algorithm fails to allocate memory, std::bad_alloc is thrown.
Possible implementation¶
First version¶
template<class InputIt1, class InputIt2>
bool equal(InputIt1 first1, InputIt1 last1,
InputIt2 first2)
{
for (; first1 != last1; ++first1, ++first2) {
if (!(*first1 == *first2)) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
Second version¶
template<class InputIt1, class InputIt2, class
BinaryPredicate>
bool equal(InputIt1 first1, InputIt1 last1,
InputIt2 first2, BinaryPredicate p)
{
for (; first1 != last1; ++first1, ++first2) {
if (!p(*first1, *first2)) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
Example¶
The following code uses std::equal to test if a string is a palindrome.
// Run this code
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <string_view>
constexpr bool is_palindrome(const std::string_view& s)
{
return std::equal(s.begin(), s.begin() + s.size()/2, s.rbegin());
}
void test(const std::string_view& s)
{
std::cout << "\"" << s << "\"
"
<< (is_palindrome(s) ? "is" : "is not")
<< " a palindrome\n";
}
int main()
{
test("radar");
test("hello");
}
Output:¶
"radar" is a palindrome
"hello" is not a palindrome
