Contents: Description, Arguments, Usage, Examples Supported Under Version: >1.69 Current Davinci Version: 2.27 64-bit Safe: Yes Description Determine if two objects are the same Arguments and Return Values Arguments: Any davinci object Return Value: 0 or 1 Usage Syntax: equals(obj1, obj2) The equals() function checks every piece of obj1 and obj2 to see if the two objects are identical. This works for VALs, STRINGs, TEXTs and Structures. Equals() returns 1 if the two objects are identical, and 0 if not. Prior to davinci 2.18, equals() compared struct members solely by index, not name, so even if 2 structures had identical named members with identical content, if they were in a different order they were unequal. Now, as of 2.18, if both structures have no unnamed members (yes that's possible; stupid but possible), then all the members are compared by name, otherwise it falls back to comparing by index.
