equals()

template<typename type_t >

virtual bool xtd::collections::generic::iequality_comparer< type_t >::equals ( const type_t &  x, const type_t &  y  ) const

pure virtualnoexcept

Determines whether the specified objects are equal.

Parameters

x	The first object of type type_t to compare.
y	The seco,d object of type type_t to compare.

Returns

true if the specified objects are equal; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Implement this method to provide a customized equality comparison for type type_t.

Notes to Implementers

Implementations are required to ensure that if the xtd::collections::generic::iequality_comparer::equals method returns true for two objects x and y, then the value returned by the xtd::collections::generic::iequality_comparer::get_hash_code method for x must equal the value returned for y. The xtd::collections::generic::iequality_comparer::equals method is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive. That is, it returns true if used to compare an object with itself; true for two objects x and y if it is true for y and x; and true for two objects x and z if it is true for x and y and also true for y and z.
