stack::operator==

Illustrates how to use the stack::operator== Standard Template Library (STL) function in Visual C++.

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

Remarks

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 a different size.

Example

// StackEqual.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
// Illustrates how to use the stack::operator==
// function to determine if two stacks are equal.
//
// Functions:
//    operator== :  Returns true if both stacks are the same.
