Description

Description:
This function returns true if all of the passed data elements are of the same type and value. One or more elements can be passed.

NOTES:
  • This function is an improvement over the == operator, because it can handle any data type in any combination.
  • For arrays, it returns true if both arrays hold the same elements in the same order.
  • If both values are undefined / nil / null, then this function will return true.
  • WARNING: EXTREMELY large strings (> 4k) or compiled code (from a file, for example) might not be properly compared if they are only different near the end of the file.
