stl questions: how can I compare 2 stl list?

[silverburgh.meryl]

is there a better way to compare 2 stl list? I write a function like
this below, but I wonder if there is a better way to achieve that (e.g.
less code)?
bool isSame(const list<int>& srcList, const list<int>& destList ) {
if (srcList.size() != destList.size() ) {
return false;
}

int size = srcList.size();
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
if (srcList[i] != destList[i]) {
return false;
}
}

return true;
}

Thank you.

I suppose you did not compile this, did you? Try it .. it will fail
to compile, because std::list does not have an 'operator []'.

Try this instead:

bool isSame (std::list <int> const& l1, std::list <int> const& l2)
{
if (l1.size () == l2.size ())
return std::equal (l1.begin (), l1.end (), l2.begin ());
else
return false;
}

Hello

AFAIK, lists implement '==' operator.

So just test as:

bool isSame = list1 == list2;

Also check the std::equal()

How about list1 == list2?

Hello,

How about operator ==() ?

What's wrong with

srcList == destList

?
