all.equal.instrument: instrument all.equal method

Description

This is most useful for seeing the difference between two instrument objects.

Usage

# S3 method for instrument
all.equal(target, current, char.n = 2, collapse = ";", ...)

Value

`TRUE` when `target` and `current` are equal. Otherwise, a character vector describing differences between the two objects.

Arguments

char.n

If length of a character vector is char.n or less it will be treated as a single element. A negative value for char.n will be treated as if it were positive Inf.

collapse

Only used if a character vector is of length less than char.n. Unless collapse is NULL, it will be used in a call to paste. If collapse is NULL, each element of the character vector will be compared separately.
