Boolean.CompareTo Method (Boolean)
Compares this instance to a specified Boolean object and returns an integer that indicates their relationship to one another.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- value
-
Type:
System.Boolean
A Boolean object to compare to this instance.
Return Value
Type: System.Int32A signed integer that indicates the relative values of this instance and value.
Return Value | Condition |
|---|---|
Less than zero | This instance is false and value is true. |
Zero | This instance and value are equal (either both are true or both are false). |
Greater than zero | This instance is true and value is false. |
Implements
IComparable<'T>.CompareTo('T)This method implements the System.IComparable<'T> interface and performs slightly better than the Boolean.CompareTo method because it does not have to convert the value parameter to an object.
If value has fewer bits (is narrower) than the instance type, some programming languages perform an implicit widening conversion that transforms the value of the parameter into a value with more bits.
For example, suppose the instance type is Int32 and the parameter type is Byte. The Microsoft C# compiler generates instructions to represent the value of the parameter as an Int32 object, then generates a Int32.CompareTo method to compare the Int32 instance and parameter representation.
Consult your programming language's documentation to determine whether its compiler performs implicit widening conversions on numeric types.
