I am writing software involving sequences. At various points, I want to specify that some operation involves or produces a sequence as long as a given sequence.

If its length was lower, we would say "shorter". If the length was higher, we would say "longer". But what adjective do we have for the length being equal that isn't "equal-length" or "same-length"? Because hyphens are not allowed in identifiers in software, I would like a single word with the same meaning. For example, I have a countShorterSequences and countLongerSequences defined, but countEqualSequences is not correct and countEqualLengthSequences is confusing considering my sequences contain lengths of other objects, making them "length sequences".

There is only one similar thread on the same topic, but it is not about comparatives (shorter vs. longer) but positives (short vs. long) with the in-between being "medium". That's not what I want.

Equidistant comes to mind, but that means equally apart rather than equally long.

Let's say we have two sequences A and B of differently coloured but equally big marbles.

• If A has fewer marbles than B, we say that A's length is smaller than B's, and we would say that A is shorter than B.
• If A has more marbles than B, we say that A's length is larger than B's, and we would say that A is longer than B.
• But what single-word, non-hyphenated adjective do we have for the length being equal, meaning A is as long as B?

I can only think of multi-word phrases like "equal-length" or "same-length" or "equally sized" or "equal-size" and so on. Equidistant comes to mind, but that means equally apart rather than equally long, and I don't think equilongial is a thing. In any case, it is not correct to just use "equal" or "equivalent", because as opposed to two straight lines of the same length, two sequences of marbles can have the same length and still be very unequal in their contents.

For future reference of the comments: the original post mentioned the example of using this (single) word in a software program with existing routines countShorterSequences and countLongerSequences. This was not the main point, because the program's documentation is just in English. I would like to avoid "equal-length" there, since it seems clunky relative to "shorter" and "longer". Compare "this returns a longer, sorted sequence" with "this returns an equal-length, sorted sequence". As with all SWRs, you can always replace the word by an entire phrase ("this returns a sorted sequence of the same length"), but I don't want that.
