Last reviewed: October 9, 1997

The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY

The sample code below illustrates how to use the stack::operator== STL function in Visual C++.

MORE INFORMATION

Required Header

   <stack>

Prototype

   template<class _TYPE, class _C, class _A>
   bool stack::bool operator==(const stack<_TYPE, _C, _A>& _X) const;

NOTE: The class/parameter names in the prototype may not match the version in the header file. Some have been modified to improve readability.

Description

The stack::operator== function returns true if both stacks have equal elements arranged in the same sequence. The stack::operator== function always returns false if the two stacks are of different size.
