Returns true if self and other are the same type and have equal values.
Of the Core and Standard Library classes, only Integer, Rational, and Complex use this implementation.
Examples:
Example
1.eql?(1) # => true 1.eql?(1.0) # => false 1.eql?(Rational(1, 1)) # => false 1.eql?(Complex(1, 0)) # => false
Method eql? is different from +==+ in that eql? requires matching types, while +==+ does not.
