Method: String#==

Defined in:

string.c

#==(obj) ⇒ Boolean #===(obj) ⇒ Boolean

Equality—Returns whether str == obj, similar to Object#==.

If obj is not an instance of String but responds to to_str, then the two strings are compared using obj.==.

Otherwise, returns similarly to String#eql?, comparing length and content.

Overloads:

• #==(obj) ⇒ Boolean

  Returns:

  • (Boolean)
• #===(obj) ⇒ Boolean

  Returns:

  • (Boolean)
