Equals (New) VS Equals

[pulsar storm]

What's the difference, is one better than the other?

Configure it

[supple kestrel]

You can configure Equals (New) to add more ports to it

[rancid mauve]

You can add ports

[pulsar storm]

okay wait

[supple kestrel]

Kinda don’t know why they didn’t deprecate the old equals or just add that ability to it anyways

[pulsar storm]

they should just delete the old one then seems useless

wait if they deleted it all the rooms would break nvm

im guessing it would have issues if they just updated it too

[supple kestrel]

Deprecation is a thing^

[pulsar storm]

true ig they could just do that

[sudden flicker]

Maybe because the new one is in beta (I think)

[coarse blaze]

Correct!

It doesnt act exactly as normal equals

1. You can add/remove ports to the equals, to check if multiple values are equal
2. Short-circuit execution, instead of calculating every port, it only calculates equal ports, so if you had the items [A,A,A,B,C], it would calculate the first 3 A's and the first B, but it wouldnt calculate C because it doesnt need to, as B does not equal A, so not every value is equal, return false
3. New equals can check list equality, so [A,A,A,B,C] does equal [A,A,A,B,C], but [A,A,A,B,C] does not equal [A,A,A,B,B], where as old equals would only return true if both lists came from the same section in the circuit graph (Not even same reference list, which is weird)

Okay so New Equals is just better in every possible way :D
