Equality—Two hashes are equal if they each contain the same number of keys and if each key-value pair is equal to (according to Object#==) the corresponding elements in the other hash.

   h1 = { "a" => 1, "c" => 2 }
   h2 = { 7 => 35, "c" => 2, "a" => 1 }
   h3 = { "a" => 1, "c" => 2, 7 => 35 }
   h4 = { "a" => 1, "d" => 2, "f" => 35 }
   h1 == h2   #=> false
   h2 == h3   #=> true
   h3 == h4   #=> false
