BigInteger.Equality 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 an unsigned long integer value are 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 the left and right parameters have the same value; otherwise, false.
Remarks
The Equality(BigInteger, UInt64) method defines the equality comparison operation 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 call the BigInteger.Equals(UInt64) instance method instead.
