compareElements()

function compareElements	(	in	element1,
		in	element2,
		in	diffTabIn,
		in	elemPath
	)

Function to find differences between data elements.

This function will give you a fast overview what are the differences between two elements. For example, this is usefull to compare two simulation results.

diffTabOut = compareElements(result1, result2)

It was implemented recursively. Hence, it is calling itself until it reaches for example a numeric value or a string. The tables containing the differences will be concatenated.

Warning:

• The function was not fully tested.
• The function output may be not suitable for your usecase.
• The comparison of some classes could be missing. In this case, an error will be thrown. => Feel free to extend this function.

Parameters

element1	Element of arbitrary class
element2	Element of arbitrary class
diffTabIn	(optimal)Table: Differences which were already disconvered
elemPath	(optimal)String: Path which was used to reach the element (e.g. test.name)

Return values

diffTabIn

Table: Differences which were disconvered
