GFpCmpElement
=============


Compares two elements of the finite field.


Syntax
------


IppStatus ippsGFpCmpElement(const IppsGFpElement\* pA, const
IppsGFpElement\* pB, int\* pResult, const IppsGFpState\* pGFp);

Parameters
----------


.. list-table:: 
   :header-rows: 0

   * - pA   
     - Pointer to the context of the first finite field element.
   * - pB   
     - Pointer to the context of the second finite field element.
   * - pResult   
     - Pointer to the result of the comparison. For details, see `comparison results <finite-field-arithmetic.html>`__.
   * - pGFp   
     - Pointer to the context of the finite field.




Description
-----------


This function compares two elements of the finite field and returns the
result in pResult. The finite field is specified by the context pGFp.


Return Values
-------------


.. list-table:: 
   :header-rows: 0

   * - ippStsNoErr   
     - Indicates no error. Any other value indicates an error or warning.
   * - ippStsNullPtrErr   
     - Indicates an error condition if any of the specified pointers is NULL.
   * - ippStsContextMatchErr   
     - Indicates an error condition if any of IppsGFpState and IppsGFpElement context parameters does not match the operation.
   * - ippStsOutOfRangeErr   
     - Indicates an error condition if either pA or pB does not belong to the finite field specified by the context pGFp.
