tree-equal tree-1 tree-2 {&key test test-not} => generalized-boolean
tree-1---a tree.
tree-2---a tree.
test---a designator for a function of two arguments that returns a generalized boolean.
test-not---a designator for a function of two arguments that returns a generalized boolean.
generalized-boolean---a generalized boolean.
tree-equal tests whether two trees are of the same shape and have the same leaves. tree-equal returns true if tree-1 and tree-2 are both atoms and satisfy the test, or if they are both conses and the car of tree-1 is tree-equal to the car of tree-2 and the cdr of tree-1 is tree-equal to the cdr of tree-2. Otherwise, tree-equal returns false.
tree-equal recursively compares conses but not any other objects that have components.
The first argument to the :test or :test-not function is tree-1 or a car or cdr of tree-1; the second argument is tree-2 or a car or cdr of tree-2.
(setq tree1 '(1 (1 2))
tree2 '(1 (1 2))) => (1 (1 2))
(tree-equal tree1 tree2) => true
(eql tree1 tree2) => false
(setq tree1 '('a ('b 'c))
tree2 '('a ('b 'c))) => ('a ('b 'c))
=> ((QUOTE A) ((QUOTE B) (QUOTE C)))
(tree-equal tree1 tree2 :test 'eq) => true
The consequences are undefined if both tree-1 and tree-2 are circular.
