vector::operator==

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

template<class _TYPE, class _A> inline
   bool operator==(
   const vector<_TYPE, _A>& _X,
   const vector<_TYPE, _A>& _Y
);

Remarks

Hinweis

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

The sample declares three empty vectors of a user-defined class called ID, each of which contains a Name string member and a Score integer member. It creates three vectors of IDs and then compares vectors using the operator== as defined for ID.

Example

// Opequal.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
// Illustrates how to define the operator== to compare vectors.
//
// Functions:
//
//    vector::operator== - Vector equality comparison.
//    vector::push_back - Appends (inserts) an element to the end of a
//                        vector, allocating memory for it if necessary.
