public static member function
<string>
static bool eq (const char_type& c, const char_type& d);
static constexpr bool eq (char_type c, char_type d) noexcept;
Compare characters for equality
Returns whether characters c and d are considered equal.
In the standard specializations of
char_traits, this function behaves as the built-in
operator==, but custom
character traits classes may provide an alternative behavior.
In the standard specializations of
char_traits, this function behaves as the built-in
operator== for type
unsigned char, but custom
character traits classes may provide an alternative behavior.
Parameters
- c, d
- Character values.
Member type char_type is the character type (i.e., the class template parameter in char_traits).
Return Value
true if c is considered equal to d.

Output:
Exception safety
No-throw guarantee: this member function never throws exceptions in any of the standard specializations.
