# op:gMonthDay-equal - XPath XQuery Reference

Returns true if the two xs:gMonthDay values have the same starting instant,
            when considered as days in the same year.Defines the
         semantics of the "eq" operator when applied to two xs:gMonthDay values. Also
         used in the definition of the "ne" operator.deterministiccontext-dependentfocus-independentThe 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). op:gMonthDay-equal(xs:gMonthDay("--12-25-14:00"),
                  xs:gMonthDay("--12-26+10:00"))true() The starting instants are 1972-12-25T00:00:00-14:00 and
                     1972-12-26T00:00:00+10:00, respectively, and normalize to
                     1972-12-25T14:00:00Z and 1972-12-25T14:00:00Z.
