BigInteger.GreaterThanOrEqual Operator (UInt64, BigInteger)
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Returns a value that indicates whether a 64-bit unsigned integer is greater than or equal to a BigInteger value.
This API is not CLS-compliant.
Namespace: System.Numerics
Assembly: System.Numerics (in System.Numerics.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Shared Operator >= ( _
left As ULong, _
right As BigInteger _
) As Boolean
public static bool operator >=(
ulong left,
BigInteger right
)
Parameters
- left
Type: System.UInt64
The first value to compare.
- right
Type: System.Numerics.BigInteger
The second value to compare.
Return Value
Type: System.Boolean
true if left is greater than right; otherwise, false.
Remarks
The GreaterThanOrEqual method defines the operation of the greater than or equal to operator for BigInteger values. It enables code such as the following:
Dim bigNumber As BigInteger = BigInteger.Pow(Int32.MaxValue, 2)
Dim number As ULong = UInt64.MaxValue
If number >= bigNumber Then
' Do something
End If
BigInteger bigNumber = BigInteger.Pow(Int32.MaxValue, 2);
ulong number = UInt64.MaxValue;
if (number >= bigNumber)
{
// Do something
}
Languages that do not support custom operators can call the BigInteger.CompareTo(UInt64) method instead. Some languages can also call the GreaterThanOrEqual(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_GreaterThanOrEqual(number, bigNumber) Then
' Do something
End If
