Constructor Detail

### IsEqual

    public IsEqual(T equalArg)

Method Detail

### matches

    public boolean matches(java.lang.Object arg)

  Description copied from interface: `org.hamcrest.Matcher`
  Evaluates the matcher for argument item.

  This method matches against Object, instead of the generic type T. This is because the caller of the Matcher does not know at runtime what the type is (because of type erasure with Java generics). It is down to the implementations to check the correct type.

  Parameters:
    `arg` - the object against which the matcher is evaluated.
  Returns:
    `true` if item matches, otherwise `false`.
  See Also:
    `BaseMatcher`

### describeTo

    public void describeTo(org.hamcrest.Description description)

  Description copied from interface: `org.hamcrest.SelfDescribing`
  Generates a description of the object. The description may be part of a a description of a larger object of which this is just a component, so it should be worded appropriately.

  Parameters:
    `description` - The description to be built or appended to.

### equalTo

    public static <T> org.hamcrest.Matcher<T> equalTo(T operand)

  Is the value equal to another value, as tested by the `Object.equals(java.lang.Object)` invokedMethod?
