BitVector32.Equals Method (Object)

 

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the BitVector32.

Namespace:   System.Collections.Specialized
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)

Public Overrides Function Equals (
	o As Object
) As Boolean

Parameters

o
Type: System.Object

The object to compare with the current BitVector32.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean

true if the specified object is equal to the BitVector32; otherwise, false.

The object o is considered equal to the BitVector32 if the type of o is compatible with the BitVector32 type and if the value of o is equal to the value of Data.

This method is an O(1) operation.

The following code example compares a BitVector32 with another BitVector32 and with an Int32.
