Decimal.Compare(Decimal, Decimal) Method

Definition

Compares two specified Decimal values.

public:
 static int Compare(System::Decimal d1, System::Decimal d2);
public static int Compare (decimal d1, decimal d2);
static member Compare : decimal * decimal -> int
Public Shared Function Compare (d1 As Decimal, d2 As Decimal) As Integer

Parameters

d1
Decimal

The first value to compare.

d2
Decimal

The second value to compare.

Returns

A signed number indicating the relative values of d1 and d2.

Return value Meaning
Less than zero d1 is less than d2.
Zero d1 and d2 are equal.
Greater than zero d1 is greater than d2.

Examples

The following example compares several Decimal values. Note that the first comparison indicates that the two values are equal despite the subtraction operation performed on the value2 variable. This is because the Decimal type has 29 digits of precision, whereas a difference between these two values can be detected only with 30 digits of precision.
