BigInteger::Equals Method (BigInteger)

Returns a value that indicates whether the current instance and a specified BigInteger object have the same value.

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

public:
virtual bool Equals(
	BigInteger other
) sealed

Parameters

other
Type: System.Numerics::BigInteger
The object to compare.

Return Value

Type: System::Boolean
true if this BigInteger object and other have the same value; otherwise, false.

Implements

IEquatable<T>::Equals(T)

This method implements the IEquatable<T> interface and performs slightly better than Equals(Object) because it does not have to convert the other parameter to a BigInteger object.

To determine the relationship between the two BigInteger objects instead of just testing for equality, call the BigInteger::CompareTo(BigInteger) method.

The following example compares the approximate distance of several stars from Earth with the distance of Epsilon Indi from Earth to determine whether they are equal. The example uses each overload of the Equals method to test for equality.
