op:gMonthDay-equal - XPath XQuery Reference

Find a function

XPath/XQuery gMonthDay-equal function

Summary

Returns true if the two xs:gMonthDay values have the same starting instant, when considered as days in the same year.

Operator Mapping

Defines the semantics of the "eq" operator when applied to two xs:gMonthDay values. Also used in the definition of the "ne" operator.

Signature

op:gMonthDay-equal(

$arg1 as xs:gMonthDay,
$arg2 as xs:gMonthDay

) as xs:boolean

Properties

This function is deterministic, context-dependent, and focus-independent. It depends on implicit-timezone.

Rules

The starting instants of $arg1 and $arg2 are calculated by supplying the missing components of $arg1 and $arg2 from the xs:dateTime template 1972-xx-xxT00:00:00 or an equivalent. The function returns the result of comparing these two starting instants using op:dateTime-equal.

Assume that the dynamic context provides an implicit timezone value of -05:00. Assume for the purposes of illustration that the xs:dateTime template used is 1972-xx-xxT00:00:00 (this does not affect the result).

The expression op:gMonthDay-equal(xs:gMonthDay("--12-25-14:00"), xs:gMonthDay("--12-26+10:00")) returns true().

The expression op:gMonthDay-equal(xs:gMonthDay("--12-25"), xs:gMonthDay("--12-26Z")) returns false().
