std::equal - cppreference.com

Checks whether [first1, last1) and a range starting from first2 are equal:

• For overloads (1-4), the second range has std::distance(first1, last1) elements.
• For overloads (5-8), the second range is [first2, last2).

1,5) Elements are compared using operator==.

3,7) Elements are compared using the given binary predicate p.

2,4,6,8) Same as (1,3,5,7), but executed according to policy.

These overloads participate in overload resolution only if all following conditions are satisfied:

The signature of the predicate function should be equivalent to the following:

 bool pred(const Type1 &a, const Type2 &b);

While the signature does not need to have const &, the function must not modify the objects passed to it and must be able to accept all values of type (possibly const) Type1 and Type2 regardless of value category (thus, Type1 & is not allowed, nor is Type1 unless for Type1 a move is equivalent to a copy(since C++11)).
The types Type1 and Type2 must be such that objects of types InputIt1 and InputIt2 can be dereferenced and then implicitly converted to Type1 and Type2 respectively. ​

1-4) If each corresponding elements in the two ranges are equal, returns true. Otherwise returns false.

If

and

are equal, and each corresponding elements in the two ranges are equal, returns

. Otherwise returns

.

Given \(\scriptsize N_1\)N1 as std::distance(first1, last1) and \(\scriptsize N_2\)N2 as std::distance(first2, last2):

1) At most \(\scriptsize N_1\)N1 comparisons using operator==.

2) \(\scriptsize O(N_1)\)O(N1) comparisons using operator==.

3) At most \(\scriptsize N_1\)N1 applications of the predicate p.

4) \(\scriptsize O(N_1)\)O(N1) applications of the predicate p.

If

and

are both

, and

is

, no comparison will be made.

Otherwise, given \(\scriptsize N\)N as \(\scriptsize \min(N_1,N_2)\)min(N1,N2):

5) At most \(\scriptsize N\)N comparisons using operator==.

6) \(\scriptsize O(N)\)O(N) comparisons using operator==.

7) At most \(\scriptsize N\)N applications of the predicate p.

8) \(\scriptsize O(N)\)O(N) applications of the predicate p.

The overloads with a template parameter named ExecutionPolicy report errors as follows:

• If execution of a function invoked as part of the algorithm throws an exception and ExecutionPolicy is one of the standard policies, std::terminate is called. For any other ExecutionPolicy, the behavior is implementation-defined.
• If the algorithm fails to allocate memory, std::bad_alloc is thrown.

std::equal should not be used to compare the ranges formed by the iterators from std::unordered_set, std::unordered_multiset, std::unordered_map, or std::unordered_multimap because the order in which the elements are stored in those containers may be different even if the two containers store the same elements.

When comparing entire containers or string views(since C++17) for equality, operator== for the corresponding type are usually preferred.

Sequential std::equal is not guaranteed to be short-circuit. E.g. if the first pair elements of both ranges do not compare equal, the rest of elements may also be compared. Non-short-circuit comparison may happen when the ranges are compared with std::memcmp or implementation-specific vectorized algorithms.

The following code uses std::equal to test if a string is a palindrome.

#include <algorithm>
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <string_view>
 
constexpr bool is_palindrome(const std::string_view& s)
{
    return std::equal(s.cbegin(), s.cbegin() + s.size() / 2, s.crbegin());
}
 
void test(const std::string_view& s)
{
    std::cout << std::quoted(s)
              << (is_palindrome(s) ? " is" : " is not")
              << " a palindrome\n";
}
 
int main()
{
    test("radar");
    test("hello");
}

Output:

"radar" is a palindrome
"hello" is not a palindrome
