>From the Eu refman:

equal
Syntax: i = equal(x1, x2)
Description: Compare two Euphoria objects to see if they are the same. Return 1
(true)
if they are the same. Return 0 (false) if they are different.
Comments: This is equivalent to the expression: compare(x1, x2) = 0
Example 1:
 if equal(PI, 3.14) then
    puts(1, "give me a better value for PI!\n")
end if
