	 *
	 *    Tests whether two values are equal. Returns 1 if number1 = number2; returns 0 otherwise.
	 *    Use this function to filter a set of values. For example, by summing several DELTA
	 *        functions you calculate the count of equal pairs. This function is also known as the
	 *        Kronecker Delta function.
	 *
	 * @param array<mixed>|bool|float|int|string $a the first number
	 *                      Or can be an array of values
	 * @param array<mixed>|bool|float|int|string $b The second number. If omitted, b is assumed to be zero.
	 *                      Or can be an array of values
	 *
	 * @return array<mixed>|int|string (string in the event of an error)
	 *         If an array of numbers is passed as an argument, then the returned result will also be an array
	 *            with the same dimensions
