weldx.core.MathematicalExpression.equals

MathematicalExpression.equals(other, check_parameters=True, check_structural_equality=False)

Compare the instance with another object for equality and return the result.

If the other object is not a MathematicalExpression this function always returns ‘False’. The function offers the choice to compare for structural or mathematical equality by setting the ‘structural_expression_equality’ parameter accordingly. Additionally, the comparison can be limited to the expression only, if ‘check_parameters’ is set to ‘False’.

Parameters

• other (Any) – Arbitrary other object.

• check_parameters (bool) – Set to ‘True’ if the parameters should be included during the comparison. If ‘False’, only the expression is checked for equality.

• check_structural_equality (bool) – Set to ‘True’ if the expression should be checked for structural equality. Set to ‘False’ if mathematical equality is sufficient.

Returns

‘True’ if both objects are equal, ‘False’ otherwise

Return type

bool
