+### EqualPtr
+
+Checks equality of two pointers by their dereferenced values, handling nil cases.
+
+```go
+ptr42 := lo.ToPtr(42)
+ptr42_2 := lo.ToPtr(42)
+ptr100 := lo.ToPtr(100)
+ptrNil := (*int)(nil)
+

+// equal2: false (42 != 100)
+
+equal3 := lo.EqualPtr(ptr42, ptrNil)
+// equal3: false (one is nil)

+// equal4: true (both are nil)
+```
+
+[[play](https://go.dev/play/p/qMzVWWBMbNX)]
+
+### ComparePtr
+
+ComparePtr compares two pointers and returns:
+- 0 if both are nil or *a == *b
+- -1 if a is nil (and b is not) or *a < *b
+- 1 if b is nil (and a is not) or *a > *b
+
+Nil is treated as less than any non-nil value.
+
+```go
+ptr42 := lo.ToPtr(42)
+ptr42_2 := lo.ToPtr(42)
+ptr100 := lo.ToPtr(100)
+ptrNil := (*int)(nil)
+

 ### ToAnySlice
 
 Returns a slice with all elements mapped to `any` type.
