operator== (<string>)
Tests if the string object on the left side of the operator is equal to the string object on the right side.
template<class CharType, class Traits, class Allocator>
bool operator==(
const basic_string<CharType, Traits, Allocator>& _Left,
const basic_string<CharType, Traits, Allocator>& _Right
);
template<class CharType, class Traits, class Allocator>
bool operator==(
const basic_string<CharType, Traits, Allocator>& _Left,
const CharType *_Right
);
template<class CharType, class Traits, class Allocator>
bool operator==(
const CharType *_Left,
const basic_string<CharType, Traits, Allocator>& _Right
);
Parameters
_Left
A C-style string or an object of type basic_string to be compared._Right
A C-style string or an object of type basic_string to be compared.
Return Value
true if the string object on the left side of the operator is lexicographically equal to the string object on the right side; otherwise false.
Remarks
The comparison between string objects is based on a pairwise lexicographical comparison of their characters. Two strings are equal if they have the same number of characters and their respective character values are the same. Otherwise, they are unequal.
Example
// string_op_eq.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
int main( )
{
using namespace std;
// Declaring an objects of type basic_string<char>
string s1 ( "pluck" );
string s2 ( "strum" );
cout << "The basic_string s1 = " << s1 << "." << endl;
cout << "The basic_string s2 = " << s2 << "." << endl;
// Declaring a C-style string
char *s3 = "pluck";
cout << "The C-style string s3 = " << s3 << "." << endl;
// First member function: comparison between left-side object
// of type basic_string & right-side object of type basic_string
if ( s1 == s2 )
cout << "The strings s1 & s2 are equal." << endl;
else
cout << "The strings s1 & s2 are not equal." << endl;
// Second member function: comparison between left-side object
// of type basic_string & right-side object of C-syle string type
if ( s1 == s3 )
cout << "The strings s1 & s3 are equal." << endl;
else
cout << "The strings s1 & s3 are not equal." << endl;
// Third member function: comparison between left-side object
// of C-syle string type & right-side object of type basic_string
if ( s3 == s2 )
cout << "The strings s3 & s2 are equal." << endl;
else
cout << "The strings s3 & s2 are not equal." << endl;
}
The basic_string s1 = pluck. The basic_string s2 = strum. The C-style string s3 = pluck. The strings s1 & s2 are not equal. The strings s1 & s3 are equal. The strings s3 & s2 are not equal.
