Byte::CompareTo Method (Object)
Compares this instance to a specified object and returns an indication of their relative values.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- value
- Type: System::Object
An object to compare, or nullptr.
Return Value
Type: System::Int32A signed integer that indicates the relative order of this instance and value.
Return Value | Description |
|---|---|
Less than zero | This instance is less than value. |
Zero | This instance is equal to value. |
Greater than zero | This instance is greater than value. -or- value is nullptr. |
Implements
IComparable::CompareTo(Object)| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | value is not a Byte. |
value must be nullptr or an instance of Byte; otherwise, an exception is thrown.
Any instance of Byte, regardless of its value, is considered greater than nullptr.
This method is implemented to support the IComparable interface.
The following example demonstrates the CompareTo method.
public: void Compare( Byte myByte ) { Int32 myCompareResult; myCompareResult = MemberByte.CompareTo( myByte ); if ( myCompareResult > 0 ) { Console::WriteLine( "{0} is less than the MemberByte value {1}", myByte.ToString(), MemberByte.ToString() ); } else { if ( myCompareResult < 0 ) Console::WriteLine( "{0} is greater than the MemberByte value {1}", myByte.ToString(), MemberByte.ToString() ); else Console::WriteLine( "{0} is equal to the MemberByte value {1}", myByte.ToString(), MemberByte.ToString() ); } }
