SameQ
yields
True
if the expression
lhs
is identical to
rhs
, and yields
False
otherwise.
MORE INFORMATION
SameQ
requires exact correspondence between expressions, except that it still considers
Real
numbers equal if they differ in their last binary digit.
gives
False
.
gives
True
if all the

Scope
(4)
Test equivalence of strings:
Numbers in different representations are not the same:
nevertheless treats them as equal:
Approximate numbers that differ in their last bit are still considered identical:
Test whether multiple expressions are all the same:
