relationaloperators (handle) - Equality and sorting of handle objects

Syntax

TF = eq(H1,H2)
TF = ne(H1,H2)
TF = lt(H1,H2)
TF = le(H1,H2)
TF = gt(H1,H2)
TF = ge(H1,H2)

Description

TF = eq(H1,H2)

TF = ne(H1,H2)

TF = lt(H1,H2)

TF = le(H1,H2)

TF = gt(H1,H2)

TF = ge(H1,H2)

For each pair of input arrays (H1 and H2), a logical array of the same size is returned in which each element is an element-wise equality or comparison test result. These methods perform scalar expansion in the same way as the MATLAB built-in functions. See relationaloperators for more information.

You can make the following assumptions about the result of a handle comparison:

• The same two handles always compare as equal and the repeated comparison of any two handles always yields the same result in the same MATLAB session.

• Different handles are always not-equal.

• The order of handle values is purely arbitrary and has no connection to the state of the handle objects being compared.

• If the input arrays belong to different classes (including the case where one input array belongs to a non-handle class such as double) then the comparison is always false.

• If a comparison is made between a handle object and an object of a dominant class, the method of the dominant class is invoked. You should generally test only like objects because a dominant class might not define one of these methods.

• An error occurs if the input arrays are not the same size and neither is scalar.
