Method equal()

Method equal

bool equal(mixed a, mixed b)

Description

This function checks if the values a and b are equivalent.

Returns

If either of the values is an object the (normalized) result of calling lfun::_equal() will be returned.

Returns 1 if both values are false (zero, destructed objects, prototype functions, etc).

Returns 0 (zero) if the values have different types.

Otherwise depending on the type of the values:

`int`	Returns the same as `a == b`.
`float`
`string`
`program`
`array`	The contents of `a` and `b` are checked recursively, and if all their contents are equal and in the same place and have the same set_weak_flag() flags, they are considered equal. Note that for objects this case is only reached if neither `a` nor `b` implements lfun::_equal().
`mapping`
`multiset`
`object`
`function(:void)`	Two functions are equal if they refer to the same identifier in the same class and their objects are equal.
`type`	Returns `(a <= b) && (b <= a)`.
