std::cmp::PartialEq

Trait std::cmp::PartialEq

#[lang = "eq"]
pub trait PartialEq<Rhs = Self> where    Rhs: ?Sized, {
    fn eq(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool;

    fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool { ... }
}

Trait for equality comparisons which are partial equivalence relations.

This trait allows for partial equality, for types that do not have a full equivalence relation. For example, in floating point numbers NaN != NaN, so floating point types implement PartialEq but not Eq.

Formally, the equality must be (for all a, b and c):

  • symmetric: a == b implies b == a; and
  • transitive: a == b and b == c implies a == c.

Note that these requirements mean that the trait itself must be implemented symmetrically and transitively: if T: PartialEq<U> and U: PartialEq<V> then U: PartialEq<T> and T: PartialEq<V>.

Derivable

This trait can be used with #[derive]. When derived on structs, two instances are equal if all fields are equal, and not equal if any fields are not equal. When derived on enums, each variant is equal to itself and not equal to the other variants.

How can I implement PartialEq?

PartialEq only requires the eq method to be implemented; ne is defined in terms of it by default. Any manual implementation of ne must respect the rule that eq is a strict inverse of ne; that is, !(a == b) if and only if a != b.

An example implementation for a domain in which two books are considered the same book if their ISBN matches, even if the formats differ:

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
    }
}

let b1 = Book { isbn: 3, format: BookFormat::Paperback };
let b2 = Book { isbn: 3, format: BookFormat::Ebook };
let b3 = Book { isbn: 10, format: BookFormat::Paperback };

assert!(b1 == b2);
assert!(b1 != b3);

Examples

let x: u32 = 0;
let y: u32 = 1;

assert_eq!(x == y, false);
assert_eq!(x.eq(&y), false);

Required Methods

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

Provided Methods

This method tests for !=.
