Equals(Int32)

Source:: Int32.cs

Source:: Int32.cs

Source:: Int32.cs

Returns a value indicating whether this instance is equal to a specified Int32 value.

public:
 virtual bool Equals(int obj);

public bool Equals (int obj);

override this.Equals : int -> bool

Public Function Equals (obj As Integer) As Boolean

Parameters

obj: Int32

An Int32 value to compare to this instance.

Returns

Boolean

true if obj has the same value as this instance; otherwise, false.

Implements

Equals(T)

Remarks

This method implements the System.IEquatable<T> interface, and performs slightly better than Int32.Equals(Object) because it does not have to convert the obj parameter to an object.

Notes to Callers

Compiler overload resolution may account for an apparent difference in the behavior of the two Equals(Int32) method overloads. If an implicit conversion between the obj argument and an Int32 is defined and the argument is not typed as an Object, compilers perform an implicit conversion and call the Equals(Int32) method. Otherwise, they call the Equals(Object) method, which always returns false if its obj argument is not an Int32 value. The following example illustrates the difference in behavior between the two method overloads. In the case of the Byte, Int16, SByte, and UInt16 values, the first comparison returns true because the compiler automatically performs a widening conversion and calls the Equals(Int32) method, whereas the second comparison returns false because the compiler calls the Equals(Object) method.

Equals(Object)

Source:: Int32.cs

Source:: Int32.cs

Source:: Int32.cs

Returns a value indicating whether this instance is equal to a specified object.

public:
 override bool Equals(System::Object ^ obj);

public override bool Equals (object obj);

public override bool Equals (object? obj);

override this.Equals : obj -> bool

Public Overrides Function Equals (obj As Object) As Boolean

Parameters

obj: Object

An object to compare with this instance.

Returns

Boolean

true if obj is an instance of Int32 and equals the value of this instance; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following example illustrates the use of Equals in the context of Int32, comparing two int values and returning true if they represent the same number, or false if they do not.

// Get and display the declaring type.
Console::WriteLine( "\nType of 'myVariable1' is '{0}' and  value is : {1}", myVariable1.GetType(), myVariable1 );

// Compare 'myVariable1' instance with 'myVariable2' Object.
if ( myVariable1.Equals( myVariable2 ) )
      Console::WriteLine( "\nStructures 'myVariable1' and 'myVariable2' are equal" );
else
      Console::WriteLine( "\nStructures 'myVariable1' and 'myVariable2' are not equal" );

Int32 myVariable1 = 60;
Int32 myVariable2 = 60;

// Get and display the declaring type.

if( myVariable1.Equals( myVariable2 ) )
   Console.WriteLine( "\nStructures 'myVariable1' and "+
         "'myVariable2' are equal");
else
   Console.WriteLine( "\nStructures 'myVariable1' and "+
         "'myVariable2' are not equal");

if myVariable1.Equals myVariable2 then
    printfn "\nStructures 'myVariable1' and 'myVariable2' are equal"
else
    printfn "\nStructures 'myVariable1' and 'myVariable2' are not equal"

Dim myVariable1 As Int32 = 60
