BigInteger::CompareTo Method (Int64)

.NET Framework (current version)

Compares this instance to a signed 64-bit integer and returns an integer that indicates whether the value of this instance is less than, equal to, or greater than the value of the signed 64-bit integer.

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

Syntax

C++

public:
int CompareTo(
	long long other
)

Parameters

other: Type: System::Int64
The signed 64-bit integer to compare.

Return Value

Type: System::Int32

A signed integer value that indicates the relationship of this instance to other, as shown in the following table.

Return value	Description
Less than zero	The current instance is less than other.
Zero	The current instance equals other.
Greater than zero	The current instance is greater than other.

Remarks

If other is a Byte, Int16, Int32, SByte, UInt16, or UInt32 value, it is implicitly converted to an Int64 value when the CompareTo(Int64) method is called.

Examples
