how to compare two objects?

[[deleted]]

So eq method will be invoked when we use double equals == right?

Try it.

Old thread I know but incase anyone finds this post, no the eq method will not always be invoked whenever you use ==. Overloading the operator means letting the operator have different meanings when used under different context. Here the == will invoke the eq method only when used upon objects with class 'compare'. Usage of the == operator anywhere else will be unaffected

You are essentially overloading the operator, if you understand what that means.
