{{CodeBox|'''function''' compareMemory(''address1'', ''address2'', ''size'', ''method'') ''':''' boolean, integer}}

Compares two memory regions.

Returns true if the memory regions are the same. If they differ, this function returns false and a secondary return value containing the index where the first difference was found.

The ''method'' parameter controls whether the given addresses are interpreted as target process memory or Cheat Engine memory.

|Integer or [[CEAddressString]]
|The first address to compare.
|-

|Integer or [[CEAddressString]]
|The second address to compare.
|-

!style="width: 80%;background-color:white;" align="left"|Description
|-
|0
|Target to target
|Compares address1 and address2 as target process addresses.
|-
|1
|Target to Cheat Engine memory
|Compares address1 as a target process address and address2 as a Cheat Engine memory address.
|-
|2
|Cheat Engine memory to Cheat Engine memory
|Compares address1 and address2 as Cheat Engine memory addresses.
|}

===Returns===
boolean, integer — Returns true if the memory regions are the same. If they differ, returns false and the index where the first difference was found.

===Examples===
<pre>
local address1 = getAddress("game.exe")
local address2 = address1 + 0x1000

local same, index = compareMemory(address1, address2, 256, 0)

if same then
print("Memory regions are identical")
else
print("Memory regions differ at index: " .. tostring(index))
end
</pre>

<pre>
local targetAddress = getAddress("game.exe")
local ceCopy = copyMemory(targetAddress, 256, nil, 1)

if ceCopy ~= nil then
local same, index = compareMemory(targetAddress, ceCopy, 256, 1)

if same then
print("Target memory matches the CE memory copy")
else
print("Memory differs at index: " .. tostring(index))
end
end
</pre>
