How to use イコール to compare things? How is it different from 同じ?


I've heard sometimes that イコール is used sometimes to imply that things are
similar. What would be a correct expression to use イコール? Furthermore, how is
it different from using 同じ to say that things are similar?

以上、どうぞよろしくお願い致します。




AとBは同じです means that A and B are similar. They are two different things.

AイコールB means that A and B are a unique thing, with two names.
