 NAME

   equal_to  - Binary function object that returns true if its first
   argument equals its second

 SYNOPSIS

   #include <functional>

   template <class T>
   struct equal_to;

 DESCRIPTION

   equal_to is a	binary function	object.	 Its operator()	returns	true
   if	x is equal	to y.  You can pass an equal_to	object to any
   algorithm	that requires a binary function.  For example, the
   transform algorithm applies a binary operation to corresponding
   values  in two collections and stores the result.  equal_to would be
   used in  that algorithm in the following manner:

   vector<int> vec1;
   vector<int> vec2;
   vector<int> vecResult;
   transform(vec1.begin(), vec1.end(),
 	   vec2.begin(), vecResult.begin(),
 	    equal_to<int>());

   After	this call to transform,	vecResult(n) will contain a "1"	if
   vec1(n) was equal to	vec2(n)	or a "0" if vec1(n) was	not equal to
   vec2(n).

 INTERFACE

   template <class T>
      struct equal_to : binary_function<T, T, bool>
   {
     typedef typename binary_function<T,	T, bool>::second_argument_type
       second_argument_type;
     typedef typename binary_function<T,	T, bool>::first_argument_type
       first_argument_type;
     typedef typename binary_function<T,	T, bool>::result_type
       result_type;
