BigInteger.Inequality Operator

Definition

Returns a value that indicates whether two numeric values are not equal.

Overloads

Inequality(Int64, BigInteger)

Returns a value that indicates whether a 64-bit signed integer and a BigInteger value are not equal.

Inequality(BigInteger, Int64)

Returns a value that indicates whether a BigInteger value and a 64-bit signed integer are not equal.

Inequality(BigInteger, BigInteger)

Returns a value that indicates whether two BigInteger objects have different values.

Inequality(BigInteger, UInt64)

Returns a value that indicates whether a BigInteger value and a 64-bit unsigned integer are not equal.

Inequality(UInt64, BigInteger)

Returns a value that indicates whether a 64-bit unsigned integer and a BigInteger value are not equal.

Inequality(Int64, BigInteger)

Source:
BigInteger.cs
Source:
BigInteger.cs
Source:
BigInteger.cs

Returns a value that indicates whether a 64-bit signed integer and a BigInteger value are not equal.

C#
public static bool operator !=(long left, System.Numerics.BigInteger right);

Parameters

left
Int64

The first value to compare.

right
BigInteger

The second value to compare.

Returns

true if left and right are not equal; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The Inequality method defines the operation of the inequality operator for BigInteger values. It enables code such as the following:

C#
BigInteger bigNumber = BigInteger.Pow(2, 63);
long number = Int64.MaxValue;
if (number != bigNumber)
{
   // Do something...
}

Languages that do not support custom operators can test for inequality by using one of the following techniques:

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.

Inequality(BigInteger, Int64)

Source:

Source:
BigInteger.cs
Source:
BigInteger.cs

Returns a value that indicates whether a BigInteger value and a 64-bit signed integer are not equal.

C#
public static bool operator !=(System.Numerics.BigInteger left, long right);

Parameters

left
BigInteger

The first value to compare.

right
Int64

The second value to compare.

Returns

true if left and right are not equal; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The Inequality method defines the operation of the inequality operator for BigInteger values. It enables code such as the following:

C#
BigInteger bigNumber = BigInteger.Pow(2, 63);
long number = Int64.MaxValue;
if (bigNumber != number)
{

Languages that do not support custom operators can test for inequality by using one of the following techniques:

If right 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).

Source:
BigInteger.cs

Returns a value that indicates whether two BigInteger objects have different values.

C#
public static bool operator !=(System.Numerics.BigInteger left, System.Numerics.BigInteger right);

Parameters

left

Remarks

The Inequality method defines the operation of the inequality operator for BigInteger values. It enables code such as the following:

C#
BigInteger number1 = 945834723;
BigInteger number2 = 345145625;
BigInteger number3 = 945834723;
Console.WriteLine(number1 != number2);             // Displays True
Console.WriteLine(number1 != number3);             // Displays False

Languages that do not support custom operators can test for inequality by using one of the following techniques:

The equivalent method for this operator is BigInteger.Compare(BigInteger, BigInteger).

Inequality(BigInteger, UInt64)

Source:
BigInteger.cs
Source:
BigInteger.cs
Source:
BigInteger.cs

Important

This API is not CLS-compliant.

Returns a value that indicates whether a BigInteger value and a 64-bit unsigned integer are not equal.

C#
[System.CLSCompliant(false)]
public static bool operator !=(System.Numerics.BigInteger left, ulong right);

Parameters

left
BigInteger

The first value to compare.

right
UInt64

The second value to compare.

Returns

true if left and right are not equal; otherwise, false.

Attributes

Remarks

The Inequality method defines the operation of the inequality operator for BigInteger values. It enables code such as the following:

C#
BigInteger bigNumber = BigInteger.Pow(2, 63) - BigInteger.One;
ulong uNumber = Int64.MaxValue & 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF;
if (bigNumber != uNumber)
{
   // Do something...
}
