if ($comparator->compare($value, $value2)) {
   echo 'same values';
}
```

```
$comparator->setFlags(Comparator::EQUAL_FLOAT);
var_dump(3 - 2.4 == 0.6, $comparator->compare(3 - 2.4, 0.6));
// false, true

$comparator->setFlags(Comparator::EQUAL_STRING);
var_dump('foo' == 'FOO', $comparator->compare('foo', 'FOO'));

$createClosure = function () {
    return function ($value) {
        return $value * 2;
    };
};
var_dump($createClosure() == $createClosure(), $comparator->compare($createClosure(), $createClosure()));
// false, true

$comparator->setFlags(Comparator::EQUAL_ARRAY | Comparator::EQUAL_FLOAT);
var_dump($comparator->compare(
  ['float' => 2 - 1.6, 'int' => 3],
  ['int' => 3, 'float' => 0.4]
));
// true
