GreaterThan(BigInteger, BigInteger)

Source:: BigInteger.cs

Source:: BigInteger.cs

Returns a value that indicates whether a BigInteger value is greater than another BigInteger value.

public:
 static bool operator >(System::Numerics::BigInteger left, System::Numerics::BigInteger right);

public:
 static bool operator >(System::Numerics::BigInteger left, System::Numerics::BigInteger right) = System::Numerics::IComparisonOperators<System::Numerics::BigInteger, System::Numerics::BigInteger, bool>::op_GreaterThan;

public static bool operator > (System.Numerics.BigInteger left, System.Numerics.BigInteger right);

static member ( > ) : System.Numerics.BigInteger * System.Numerics.BigInteger -> bool

Public Shared Operator > (left As BigInteger, right As BigInteger) As Boolean

Parameters

left: BigInteger

The first value to compare.

right: BigInteger

The second value to compare.

Returns

Boolean

true if left is greater than right; otherwise, false.

Implements

GreaterThan(TSelf, TOther)

Remarks

The GreaterThan method defines the operation of the greater than operator for BigInteger values. It enables code such as the following:

BigInteger number1 = 945834723;
BigInteger number2 = 345145625;
BigInteger number3 = 945834724;
Console.WriteLine(number1 > number2);              // Displays True
Console.WriteLine(number1 > number3);              // Displays False

let number1 = 945834723I
let number2 = 345145625I
let number3 = 945834724I
printfn $"{number1 > number2}" // Displays True
printfn $"{number1 > number3}" // Displays False

Dim number1 As BigInteger = 945834723
Dim number2 As BigInteger = 345145625
Dim number3 As BigInteger = 945834724 
Console.WriteLine(number1 > number2)                  ' Displays True
Console.WriteLine(number1 > number3)                  ' Displays False

Languages that do not support custom operators can call the BigInteger.Compare(BigInteger, BigInteger) method instead. They can also call the GreaterThan(BigInteger, BigInteger) method directly, as the following example shows.

Dim numberA As BigInteger = 945834723
Dim numberB As BigInteger = 345145625
Dim numberC As BigInteger = 945834724 
Console.WriteLine(BigInteger.op_GreaterThan(numberA, numberB))    ' Displays True
Console.WriteLine(BigInteger.op_GreaterThan(numberA, numberC))    ' Displays False

The equivalent method for this operator is BigInteger.CompareTo(BigInteger).

This API is not CLS-compliant.

Returns a value that indicates whether a BigInteger value is greater than a 64-bit unsigned integer.

[System.CLSCompliant(false)]
public static bool operator > (ulong left, System.Numerics.BigInteger right);

[<System.CLSCompliant(false)>]
static member ( > ) : uint64 * System.Numerics.BigInteger -> bool

Public Shared Operator > (left As ULong, right As BigInteger) As Boolean

Parameters

left: UInt64

The first value to compare.

right: BigInteger

The second value to compare.

Returns

Boolean

true if left is greater than right; otherwise, false.

Attributes: CLSCompliantAttribute

Remarks

The GreaterThan method defines the operation of the greater than operator for BigInteger values. It enables code such as the following:

BigInteger bigNumber = BigInteger.Pow(Int32.MaxValue, 2);
ulong number = UInt64.MaxValue;
if (number > bigNumber) {
   // Do something
}

let bigNumber = BigInteger.Pow(Int32.MaxValue, 2)
let number = UInt64.MaxValue

if bigint number > bigNumber then
    // Do something

Dim bigNumber As BigInteger = BigInteger.Pow(Int32.MaxValue, 2)
Dim number As ULong = UInt64.MaxValue
If number > bigNumber Then
   ' Do something
End If

Languages that do not support custom operators can call the BigInteger.CompareTo(UInt64) method instead. Some languages can also call the GreaterThan(UInt64, BigInteger) method directly, as the following example shows.

Dim bigNumber As BigInteger = BigInteger.Pow(Int32.MaxValue, 2)
Dim number As ULong = UInt64.MaxValue
If BigInteger.op_GreaterThan(number, bigNumber) Then
   ' Do something
End If

Source:: BigInteger.cs

Returns a value that indicates whether a 64-bit signed integer is greater than a BigInteger value.

public:
 static bool operator >(long left, System::Numerics::BigInteger right);

public static bool operator > (long left, System.Numerics.BigInteger right);

static member ( > ) : int64 * System.Numerics.BigInteger -> bool

Public Shared Operator > (left As Long, right As BigInteger) As Boolean

Parameters

left: Int64

The first value to compare.

right: BigInteger

The second value to compare.

Returns

Boolean

true if left is greater than right; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The GreaterThan method defines the operation of the greater than operator for BigInteger values. It enables code such as the following:

BigInteger bigNumber = BigInteger.Pow(Int32.MaxValue, 4);
long number = Int64.MaxValue;
if (number > bigNumber) {
   // Do something;
}

let bigNumber = BigInteger.Pow(Int32.MaxValue, 4)
let number = Int64.MaxValue

if bigint number > bigNumber then
    // Do something;

Dim bigNumber As BigInteger = BigInteger.Pow(Int32.MaxValue, 4)
Dim number As Long = Int64.MaxValue
If number > bigNumber Then
   ' Do something
End If

Languages that do not support custom operators can call the BigInteger.CompareTo(Int64) instance method instead. Some languages can also call the GreaterThan(Int64, BigInteger) method directly, as the following example shows.

Dim bigNumber As BigInteger = BigInteger.Pow(Int32.MaxValue, 4)
Dim number As Long = Int64.MaxValue
If BigInteger.op_GreaterThan(number,bigNumber) Then
   ' Do something
End If

If left is a Byte, Int16, Int32, SByte, UInt16, or UInt32 value, it is implicitly converted to an Int64 value when the operation is performed.

The equivalent method for this operator is BigInteger.CompareTo(Int64).
