Compare Two Indexed Tables
same = util.cmpi(t1, t2)
Compares two indexed tables by checking the first level values.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
t1 |
table | First table |
t2 |
table | Second table |
| Returns | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
same |
boolean | true if they are equivalent. |
[!caution[
Only compares first levels, and not sub-tables.
Example:
xx = {1,2,3}
xy = {1,2,3}
util.cmpi({9,8,7,xx}, {9,8,7,xx}) --> true
util.cmpi({9,8,7,xx}, {9,8,7,xy}) --> false (because different tables)
Note that xy has the same internal values as xx, but xy is not the same as xx and the compare does not extend to sub tables.
