Eq
We can compare two matrices with the == operator. One needs to be careful though as matrices stored as tables + meta methods are always different from matrices stored as user date. Comparison is done element by element.
Example
Input
- Example.Quanty
A = Matrix.New({{1,2},{3,4}}) B = Matrix.New({{1,2},{3,4}}) C = Matrix.New({{5,6},{7,8}}) D = {{1,2},{3,4}} setmetatable(D, MatrixMeta) E = {{1,2},{3,4}} setmetatable(E, MatrixMeta) F = {{5,6},{7,8}} setmetatable(F, MatrixMeta) print("Matrix as Userdata comparison") print("A==B ",A==B) print("A==C", A==C) print("Matrix as table with metadata comparison") print("D==E ",D==E) print("D==F", D==F) print("but WARNING WARNING, userdata are never equal to tables with metadata") print("A==D", A==D)
Result
Matrix as Userdata comparison A==B true A==C false Matrix as table with metadata comparison D==E true D==F false but WARNING WARNING, userdata are never equal to tables with metadata A==D false
