BigInteger.Inequality Operator

Definition

Returns a value that indicates whether two numeric values are not equal.

Overloads

Inequality(Int64, BigInteger)

Returns a value that indicates whether a 64-bit signed integer and a BigInteger value are not equal.

Inequality(BigInteger, Int64)

Returns a value that indicates whether a BigInteger value and a 64-bit signed integer are not equal.

Inequality(BigInteger, BigInteger)

Returns a value that indicates whether two BigInteger objects have different values.

Inequality(BigInteger, UInt64)

Returns a value that indicates whether a BigInteger value and a 64-bit unsigned integer are not equal.

Inequality(UInt64, BigInteger)

Returns a value that indicates whether a 64-bit unsigned integer and a BigInteger value are not equal.

Inequality(Int64, BigInteger)

Returns a value that indicates whether a 64-bit signed integer and a BigInteger value are not equal.

public:
 static bool operator !=(long left, System::Numerics::BigInteger right);
public static bool operator != (long left, System.Numerics.BigInteger right);
static member op_Inequality : int64 * System.Numerics.BigInteger -> bool
Public Shared Operator != (left As Long, right As BigInteger) As Boolean

Parameters

left
Int64

The first value to compare.

right
BigInteger

The second value to compare.

Returns

true if left and right are not equal; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The Inequality method defines the operation of the inequality operator for BigInteger values. It enables code such as the following:

BigInteger bigNumber = BigInteger.Pow(2, 63);
long number = Int64.MaxValue;
if (number != bigNumber)
{
   // Do something...
}
Dim bigNumber As BigInteger = BigInteger.Pow(2, 63)
Dim number As Long = Int64.MaxValue
If number <> bigNumber Then
   ' Do something...
End If

Languages that do not support custom operators can test for inequality by using one of the following techniques:

If left is a Byte, Int16, Int32, SByte, UInt16, or UInt32 value, it is implicitly converted to an Int64 value when the operation is performed.

Languages that do not support custom operators can test for inequality by using one of the following techniques:

If right is a Byte, Int16, Int32, SByte, UInt16, or UInt32 value, it is implicitly converted to an Int64 value when the operation is performed.

The equivalent method for this operator is BigInteger.CompareTo(Int64).
