Compares this instance to a specified object or Double object and returns an integer that indicates whether the value of this instance is less than, equal to, or greater than the value of the specified object or Double object.

Overloads

CompareTo(Double)	Compares this instance to a specified double-precision floating-point number and returns an integer that indicates whether the value of this instance is less than, equal to, or greater than the value of the specified double-precision floating-point number.
CompareTo(Object)	Compares this instance to a specified object and returns an integer that indicates whether the value of this instance is less than, equal to, or greater than the value of the specified object.

CompareTo(Double)

Source:: Double.cs

Source:: Double.cs

Source:: Double.cs

Compares this instance to a specified double-precision floating-point number and returns an integer that indicates whether the value of this instance is less than, equal to, or greater than the value of the specified double-precision floating-point number.

public:
 virtual int CompareTo(double value);

public int CompareTo (double value);

abstract member CompareTo : double -> int
override this.CompareTo : double -> int

Public Function CompareTo (value As Double) As Integer

Parameters

value: Double

A double-precision floating-point number to compare.

Returns

Int32

A signed number indicating the relative values of this instance and value.

Return Value	Description
Less than zero	This instance is less than `value`, or this instance is not a number (NaN) and `value` is a number.
Zero	This instance is equal to `value`, or both this instance and `value` are not a number (NaN), PositiveInfinity, or NegativeInfinity.
Greater than zero	This instance is greater than `value`, or this instance is a number and `value` is not a number (NaN).

Implements

CompareTo(T)

Examples

The following code example demonstrates generic and nongeneric versions of the CompareTo method for several value and reference types.

// This example demonstrates the two versions of the 
// CompareTo method for several base types.
// The general version takes a parameter of type Object, while the specific
// version takes a type-specific parameter, such as Boolean, Int32, or Double.

Public Function CompareTo (value As Object) As Integer

Parameters

value: Object

An object to compare, or null.

Returns

Int32

A signed number indicating the relative values of this instance and value.

Value	Description
A negative integer	This instance is less than `value`, or this instance is not a number (NaN) and `value` is a number.
Zero	This instance is equal to `value`, or this instance and `value` are both `Double.NaN`, PositiveInfinity, or NegativeInfinity

Exceptions

ArgumentException

Examples

The following code example illustrates the use of CompareTo in the context of Double.

obj1 = (Double)450;
      
if (a.CompareTo(obj1) < 0)
   Console.WriteLine("{0} is less than {1}.", a.ToString(), obj1.ToString());

if (a.CompareTo(obj1) > 0)
   Console.WriteLine("{0} is greater than {1}.", a.ToString(), obj1.ToString());

if (a.CompareTo(obj1) == 0)
   Console.WriteLine("{0} equals {1}.", a.ToString(), obj1.ToString());

let obj1 = double 450 |> box
    
if a.CompareTo obj1 < 0 then
    printfn $"{a} is less than {obj1}."

if a.CompareTo obj1 > 0 then
    printfn $"{a} is greater than {obj1}."

if a.CompareTo obj1 = 0 then
    printfn $"{a} equals {obj1}."

Obj1 = CType(450, Double)

If A.CompareTo(Obj1) < 0 Then
    Console.WriteLine(A.ToString() + " is less than " + Obj1.ToString() + ".")
End If

If (A.CompareTo(Obj1) > 0) Then
    Console.WriteLine(A.ToString() + " is greater than " + Obj1.ToString() + ".")
End If

If (A.CompareTo(Obj1) = 0) Then
    Console.WriteLine(A.ToString() + " equals " + Obj1.ToString() + ".")
End If
