# Trait std::cmp::Eq 1.0.0 [−] [src]

    pub trait Eq: PartialEq<Self> { }

Trait for equality comparisons which are equivalence relations.

This means, that in addition to `a == b` and `a != b` being strict inverses, the equality must be (for all `a`, `b` and `c`):

- reflexive: `a == a`;
- symmetric: `a == b` implies `b == a`; and
- transitive: `a == b` and `b == c` implies `a == c`.

This property cannot be checked by the compiler, and therefore `Eq` implies `PartialEq`, and has no extra methods.

## Derivable

This trait can be used with `#[derive]`. When `derive`d, because `Eq` has no extra methods, it is only informing the compiler that this is an equivalence relation rather than a partial equivalence relation. Note that the `derive` strategy requires all fields are `Eq`, which isn't always desired.

## How can I implement `Eq`?

If you cannot use the `derive` strategy, specify that your type implements `Eq`, which has no methods:

    enum BookFormat { Paperback, Hardback, Ebook }
    struct Book {
        isbn: i32,
        format: BookFormat,
    }
    impl PartialEq for Book {
        fn eq(&self, other: &Book) -> bool {
            self.isbn == other.isbn
        }
    }
    impl Eq for Book {}Run

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
