BigInteger::Equals Method (Int64)

.NET Framework (current version)

Returns a value that indicates whether the current instance and a signed 64-bit integer have the same value.

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

Syntax

public:
bool Equals(
	long long other
)

Parameters

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

Return Value

Type: System::Boolean

true if the signed 64-bit integer and the current instance have the same value; otherwise, false.

Remarks

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

To determine the relationship between the two objects instead of just testing for equality, call the BigInteger::CompareTo(Int64) method.

The following example instantiates a BigInteger object from each integral type except UInt64. It then calls the Equals(Int64) method to compare the BigInteger value with the original integer value that was passed to the BigInteger constructor. As the output shows, the values are equal in each case.

C++

#using <System.Numerics.dll>

   Byte byteValue = 16;
   bigIntValue = BigInteger(byteValue);

      bigIntValue.GetType()->Name, bigIntValue,
      byteValue.GetType()->Name, byteValue,
      bigIntValue.Equals((Int64)byteValue));

   SByte sbyteValue = -16;
   bigIntValue = BigInteger(sbyteValue);
   Console::WriteLine("{0} {1} = {2} {3} : {4}",
      bigIntValue.GetType()->Name, bigIntValue,
      sbyteValue.GetType()->Name, sbyteValue,
      bigIntValue.Equals((Int64)sbyteValue));

   Int16 shortValue = 1233;
   bigIntValue = BigInteger(shortValue);
   Console::WriteLine("{0} {1} = {2} {3} : {4}",
      bigIntValue.GetType()->Name, bigIntValue,
      shortValue.GetType()->Name, shortValue,
      bigIntValue.Equals((Int64)shortValue));

   UInt16 ushortValue = 64000;
   bigIntValue = BigInteger(ushortValue);
   Console::WriteLine("{0} {1} = {2} {3} : {4}",
      bigIntValue.GetType()->Name, bigIntValue,
      ushortValue.GetType()->Name, ushortValue,
      bigIntValue.Equals((Int64)ushortValue));

   int intValue = -1603854;
   bigIntValue = BigInteger(intValue);
   Console::WriteLine("{0} {1} = {2} {3} : {4}",
      bigIntValue.GetType()->Name, bigIntValue,
      intValue.GetType()->Name, intValue,
      bigIntValue.Equals((Int64)intValue));

   UInt32 uintValue = 1223300;
   bigIntValue = BigInteger(uintValue);
   Console::WriteLine("{0} {1} = {2} {3} : {4}",
      bigIntValue.GetType()->Name, bigIntValue,
      uintValue.GetType()->Name, uintValue,
      bigIntValue.Equals((Int64)uintValue));

   Int64 longValue = -123822229012;
   bigIntValue = BigInteger(longValue);
   Console::WriteLine("{0} {1} = {2} {3} : {4}",
      bigIntValue.GetType()->Name, bigIntValue,
      longValue.GetType()->Name, longValue,
      bigIntValue.Equals((Int64)longValue));
}
/* 
The example displays output like the following:
      BigInteger 16 = Byte 16 : True
      BigInteger -16 = SByte -16 : True
      BigInteger 1233 = Int16 1233 : True
      BigInteger 64000 = UInt16 64000 : True
      BigInteger -1603854 = Int32 -1603854 : True
      BigInteger 1223300 = UInt32 1223300 : True
      BigInteger -123822229012 = Int64 -123822229012 : True
