Int32.Equals Method (Object) (System)

.NET Framework Class Library

Int32..::.Equals Method (Object)

Returns a value indicating whether this instance is equal to a specified object.

Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Public Overrides Function Equals ( _
	obj As Object _
) As Boolean

public override bool Equals(
	Object obj
)

public:
virtual bool Equals(
	Object^ obj
) override

abstract Equals : 
        obj:Object -> bool 
override Equals : 
        obj:Object -> bool

Parameters

obj: Type: System..::.Object
An object to compare with this instance.

Return Value

Type: System..::.Boolean
true if obj is an instance of Int32 and equals the value of this instance; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following example illustrates the use of Equals in the context of Int32, comparing two int values and returning true if they represent the same number, or false if they do not.


Dim myVariable1 As Int32 = 60
Dim myVariable2 As Int32 = 60

' Get and display the declaring type.
Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.NewLine + "Type of 'myVariable1' is '{0}' and" +  _
         " value is :{1}", myVariable1.GetType().ToString(), myVariable1.ToString())
Console.WriteLine("Type of 'myVariable2' is '{0}' and" +  _
         " value is :{1}", myVariable2.GetType().ToString(), myVariable2.ToString())

' Compare 'myVariable1' instance with 'myVariable2' Object.
If myVariable1.Equals(myVariable2) Then
   Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.NewLine + "Structures 'myVariable1' and " +  _
            "'myVariable2' are equal")
Else
   Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.NewLine + "Structures 'myVariable1' and " + _
         "'myVariable2' are not equal")
End If


Int32 myVariable1 = 60;
Int32 myVariable2 = 60;

// Get and display the declaring type.
Console.WriteLine("\nType of 'myVariable1' is '{0}' and"+
     " value is :{1}",myVariable1.GetType(), myVariable1); 
Console.WriteLine("Type of 'myVariable2' is '{0}' and"+
     " value is :{1}",myVariable2.GetType(), myVariable2);

// Compare 'myVariable1' instance with 'myVariable2' Object.
if( myVariable1.Equals( myVariable2 ) )
   Console.WriteLine( "\nStructures 'myVariable1' and "+
         "'myVariable2' are equal");
else
   Console.WriteLine( "\nStructures 'myVariable1' and "+
         "'myVariable2' are not equal");


Int32 myVariable1 = 60;
Int32 myVariable2 = 60;

// Get and display the declaring type.
Console::WriteLine( "\nType of 'myVariable1' is '{0}' and  value is : {1}", myVariable1.GetType(), myVariable1 );
Console::WriteLine( "Type of 'myVariable2' is '{0}' and  value is : {1}", myVariable2.GetType(), myVariable2 );

// Compare 'myVariable1' instance with 'myVariable2' Object.
if ( myVariable1.Equals( myVariable2 ) )
      Console::WriteLine( "\nStructures 'myVariable1' and 'myVariable2' are equal" );
else
      Console::WriteLine( "\nStructures 'myVariable1' and 'myVariable2' are not equal" );
