# ==(_:_:)

Returns a Boolean value indicating whether the two given values are equal.

## Declaration

```swift
static func == <Other>(lhs: Self, rhs: Other) -> Bool where Other : BinaryInteger
```

## Parameters

- `lhs`: An integer to compare.
- `rhs`: Another integer to compare.

## Discussion

Discussion You can check the equality of instances of any BinaryInteger types using the equal-to operator (==). For example, you can test whether the first UInt8 value in a string’s UTF-8 encoding is equal to the first UInt32 value in its Unicode scalar view: let gameName = "Red Light, Green Light" if let firstUTF8 = gameName.utf8.first,     let firstScalar = gameName.unicodeScalars.first?.value {     print("First code values are equal: \(firstUTF8 == firstScalar)") } // Prints "First code values are equal: true"
