std::equal(3) C++ Standard Libary std::equal(3) NAME std::equal - std::equal Synopsis Defined in header <algorithm> template< class InputIt1, class InputIt2 > bool equal( InputIt1 first1, InputIt1 last1, (1) (const- expr since C++20) InputIt2 first2 ); template< class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIt1, class ForwardIt2 > bool equal( ExecutionPolicy&& policy, (2) (since C++17) ForwardIt1 first1, ForwardIt1 last1, ForwardIt2 first2 ); template< class InputIt1, class InputIt2, class BinaryPred > (3) (const- expr since C++20) bool equal( InputIt1 first1, InputIt1 last1, InputIt2 first2, BinaryPred p ); template< class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIt1, class ForwardIt2, class BinaryPred > (4) (since C++17) bool equal( ExecutionPolicy&& policy, ForwardIt1 first1, ForwardIt1 last1, ForwardIt2 first2, BinaryPred p ); template< class InputIt1, class InputIt2 > (since C++14) bool equal( InputIt1 first1, InputIt1 last1, (5) (const- expr since C++20) InputIt2 first2, InputIt2 last2 ); template< class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIt1, class ForwardIt2 > bool equal( ExecutionPolicy&& policy, (6) (since C++17) ForwardIt1 first1, ForwardIt1 last1, ForwardIt2 first2, ForwardIt2 last2 ); template< class InputIt1, class InputIt2, class BinaryPred > (since C++14) bool equal( InputIt1 first1, InputIt1 last1, (7) (const- expr since C++20) InputIt2 first2, InputIt2 last2, BinaryPred p ); template< class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIt1, class ForwardIt2, class BinaryPred > bool equal( ExecutionPolicy&& policy, (8) (since C++17) ForwardIt1 first1, ForwardIt1 last1, ForwardIt2 first2, ForwardIt2 last2, BinaryPred p ); Checks whether [first1, last1) and a range starting from first2 are equal: * For overloads (1-4), the second range has std::distance(first1, last1) elements. * For overloads (5-8), the second range is [first2, last2). 1,5) Elements are compared using operator==. 3,7) Elements are compared using the given binary predicate p. 2,4,6,8) Same as (1,3,5,7), but executed according to policy. These overloads participate in overload resolution only if std::is_execution_policy_v<std::decay_t<ExecutionPolicy>> is true. (until C++20) std::is_execution_policy_v<std::remove_cvref_t<ExecutionPolicy>> is true. (since C++20) 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 re- gardless 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 LegacyInputItera- tor. - ForwardIt1, ForwardIt2 must meet the requirements of LegacyFor- wardIterator. - BinaryPred must meet the requirements of BinaryPredicate. Return value 1-4) If each corresponding elements in the two ranges are equal, re- turns true. Otherwise returns false. 5-8) If std::distance(first1, last1) and std::distance(first2, last2) are equal, and each corresponding elements in the two ranges are equal, returns true. Otherwise returns false. Complexity Given \(\scriptsize N_1\)N 1 as std::distance(first1, last1) and \(\scriptsize N_2\)N 2 as std::distance(first2, last2): 1) At most \(\scriptsize N_1\)N 1 comparisons using operator==. 2) \(\scriptsize O(N_1)\)O(N 1) comparisons using operator==. 3) At most \(\scriptsize N_1\)N 1 applications of the predicate p. 4) \(\scriptsize O(N_1)\)O(N 1) applications of the predicate p. 5-8) If InputIt1 and InputIt2 are both LegacyRandomAccessIterator, and last1 - first1 != last2 - first2 is true, no comparison will be made. Otherwise, given \(\scriptsize N\)N as \(\scriptsize \min(N_1,N_2)\)min(N 1,N 2): 5) At most \(\scriptsize N\)N comparisons using operator==. 6) \(\scriptsize O(N)\)O(N) comparisons using operator==. 7) At most \(\scriptsize N\)N applications of the predicate p. 8) \(\scriptsize O(N)\)O(N) applications of the predicate p. 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::termi- nate is called. For any other ExecutionPolicy, the behavior is implementation- defined. * If the algorithm fails to allocate memory, std::bad_alloc is thrown.

When comparing entire containers for equality, operator== for the corresponding container are usually preferred. Example The following code uses std::equal to test if a string is a palin- drome. // Run this code #include <algorithm> #include <iomanip> #include <iostream> #include <string_view> constexpr bool is_palindrome(const std::string_view& s) { return std::equal(s.cbegin(), s.cbegin() + s.size() / 2, s.crbe- gin()); } void test(const std::string_view& s) { std::cout << std::quoted(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 See also find find_if finds the first element satisfying specific criteria find_if_not (function template) (C++11) returns true if one range is lexicographi- cally less than lexicographical_compare another (function template) mismatch finds the first position where two ranges differ (function template) search searches for a range of elements (function template) ranges::equal determines if two sets of elements are the same (C++20) (niebloid) equal_to function object implementing x == y (class template) equal_range returns range of elements matching a spe- cific key (function template) http://cppreference.com 2024.06.10 std::equal(3)
