char_traits::eq

Tests whether two char_type characters are equal.

static bool eq(
   const char_type& _Ch1, 
   const char_type& _Ch2 
);

Parameters

  • _Ch1
    The first of two characters to be tested for equality.

  • _Ch2
    The second of two characters to be tested for equality.

Return Value

true if the first character is equal to the second character; otherwise false.

Example

// char_traits_eq.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <string>
#include <iostream>

int main( ) 
{
   using namespace std;

   char_traits<char>::char_type ch1 =  'x';
   char_traits<char>::char_type ch2 =  'y';
   char_traits<char>::char_type ch3 =  'x';

   // Testing for equality
   bool b1 = char_traits<char>::eq ( ch1 , ch2 );
   if ( b1 )
      cout << "The character ch1 is equal "
           << "to the character ch2." << endl;
   else
      cout << "The character ch1 is not equal "
           << "to the character ch2." << endl;

   // An equivalent and alternatively test procedure
   if ( ch1 == ch3 )
      cout << "The character ch1 is equal "
           << "to the character ch3." << endl;
   else
      cout << "The character ch1 is not equal "
           << "to the character ch3." << endl;
}
The character ch1 is not equal to the character ch2.
The character ch1 is equal to the character ch3.
