Detailed Description

Expressions.

Constraints, formulas and terms are expressions in Z3.

Expressions are ASTs. Every expression has a sort.
There are three main kinds of expressions:
function applications, quantifiers and bounded variables.
A constant is a function application with 0 arguments.
For quantifier free problems, all expressions are
function applications.

def __eq__	(		self,
			other
	)

Return a Z3 expression that represents the constraint `self == other`.

If `other` is `None`, then this method simply returns `False`.

>>> a = Int('a')
>>> b = Int('b')
>>> a == b
a == b
>>> a is None
False
