BigInteger.Inequality Operator (BigInteger, UInt64)
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Returns a value that indicates whether a BigInteger value and a 64-bit unsigned integer are not equal.
This API is not CLS-compliant.
Namespace: System.Numerics
Assembly: System.Numerics (in System.Numerics.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Shared Operator <> ( _
left As BigInteger, _
right As ULong _
) As Boolean
public static bool operator !=(
BigInteger left,
ulong right
)
Parameters
- left
Type: System.Numerics.BigInteger
The first value to compare.
- right
Type: System.UInt64
The second value to compare.
Return Value
Type: System.Boolean
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:
Dim bigNumber As BigInteger = BigInteger.Pow(2, 63) - BigInteger.One
Dim uNumber As ULong = CULng(Int64.MaxValue And CULng(&H7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF))
If bigNumber <> uNumber Then
' Do something...
End If
BigInteger bigNumber = BigInteger.Pow(2, 63) - BigInteger.One;
ulong uNumber = Int64.MaxValue & 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF;
if (bigNumber != uNumber)
{
// Do something...
}
Languages that do not support custom operators can test for inequality by using one of the following techniques:
Calling the BigInteger.CompareTo(UInt64) method, which indicates the relationship between a BigInteger and an unsigned long integer value.
Calling the BigInteger.Equals(UInt64) method and reversing its value.
