Parameters

set
Type: Set Class
The set to be compared with the current set.

Return Value

true if the set is the same as the current set; otherwise, false.

Remarks

For two sets to be equal, they must have the same type and the same number of elements, and all elements must be the same.

Examples

The following example creates two sets of integers, adds some values to them, and then compares them to see whether the sets are the same.

{ 
    Set is1 = new Set (Types::Integer); 
    Set is2 = new Set (Types::Integer); 
    ; 
  
    is1.add(1); 
    is1.add(2); 
    is1.add(3); 
    is2.add(2); 
    is2.add(4); 
    if (is1.equal(is2)) 
    { 
        print "The sets are equal"; 
        pause; 
    } 
    else 
    { 
         print "The sets are not equal"; 
         pause; 
     } 
}
