BigInteger::Equals Method (UInt64)

.NET Framework (current version)

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

This API is not CLS-compliant.

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

Syntax

public:
[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
bool Equals(
	unsigned long long other
)

Parameters

other: Type: System::UInt64
The unsigned 64-bit integer to compare.

Return Value

Type: System::Boolean

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

Remarks

To determine the relationship between the two objects instead of just testing for equality, call the BigInteger::CompareTo(UInt64) 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.

C++

#using <System.Numerics.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Numerics;


void main()
{
   const Int64 LIGHT_YEAR = 5878625373183;

   BigInteger altairDistance = 17 * LIGHT_YEAR;
   BigInteger epsilonIndiDistance = 12 * LIGHT_YEAR;
   BigInteger ursaeMajoris47Distance = 46 * LIGHT_YEAR;
   Int64 tauCetiDistance = 12 * LIGHT_YEAR;
   UInt64 procyon2Distance = 12 * LIGHT_YEAR;
   Object^ wolf424ABDistance = 14 * LIGHT_YEAR;

   Console::WriteLine("Approx. equal distances from Epsilon Indi to:");
   Console::WriteLine("   Altair: {0}",
      epsilonIndiDistance.Equals(altairDistance));
   Console::WriteLine("   Ursae Majoris 47: {0}",
      epsilonIndiDistance.Equals(ursaeMajoris47Distance));
   Console::WriteLine("   TauCeti: {0}",
      epsilonIndiDistance.Equals(tauCetiDistance));
   Console::WriteLine("   Procyon 2: {0}",
      epsilonIndiDistance.Equals(procyon2Distance));
   Console::WriteLine("   Wolf 424 AB: {0}",
      epsilonIndiDistance.Equals(wolf424ABDistance));
}
/*
The example displays output like the following:
      Approx. equal distances from Epsilon Indi to:
      Altair: False
      Ursae Majoris 47: False
      TauCeti: True
      Procyon 2: True
      Wolf 424 AB: False
*/
