self == other → true or false

static VALUE
rb_hash_equal(VALUE hash1, VALUE hash2)
{
    return hash_equal(hash1, hash2, FALSE);
}

Returns whether all of the following are true:

other is a Hash object (or can be converted to one).
self and other have the same keys (regardless of order).
For each key key, self[key] == other[key].

Examples:

Example

h =  {foo: 0, bar: 1}
h == {foo: 0, bar: 1} # => true   # Equal entries (same order)
h == {bar: 1, foo: 0} # => true   # Equal entries (different order).
h == 1                            # => false  # Object not a hash.
h == {}                           # => false  # Different number of entries.
h == {foo: 0, bat: 1} # => false  # Different key.
h == {foo: 0, bar: 2} # => false  # Different value.
