let cssMathSum = new CSSMathSum(CSS.px(1), CSS.px(2));
let matchingCssMathSum = new CSSMathSum(CSS.px(1), CSS.px(2));
// Prints true
console.log(cssMathSum.equals(matchingCssMathSum));

let otherCssMathSum = CSSMathSum(CSS.px(2), CSS.px(1));
// Prints false
console.log(cssMathSum.equals(otherCssMathSum));

// Also prints false
console.log(CSS.cm("1").equal(CSS.in("0.393701")));
