UInt32.CompareTo Method is used to compare the current instance to a specified object or another
UInt32 instance. It returns an integer which shows whether the value of the current instance is less than, equal to, or greater than the value of the specified object or the other UInt32 instance. There are 2 methods in the overload list of this method as follows:
- CompareTo(UInt32) Method
- CompareTo(Object) Method
UInt32.CompareTo(UInt32) Method
This method is used to compare the current instance to a specified 32-bit unsigned integer and returns an integer which shows whether the value of the current instance is less than, equal to, or greater than the value of the specified 32-bit unsigned integer.
Syntax:
public int CompareTo (uint value);
Here, it takes an unsigned integer to compare.
Return Value: It returns a 32-bit signed number indicating the relative values of current instance and
value parameter as follows:
- Less than Zero: if Current Instance < value
- Zero: if Current Instance = value
- Greater than Zero: if Current Instance > value
Below programs illustrate the use of
UInt32.CompareTo(UInt32) Method
Example 1:
Output:
1231 is less than 5123
Example 2:
Output:
34425 is greater than 7343
340 is less than 67520
7810 is greater than 2890
700 is equal to 700
UInt32.CompareTo(Object) Method
This method is used to compare the current instance to a specified object and returns an integer which indicates whether the value of the current instance is less than, equal to, or greater than the value of the object.
Syntax:
public int CompareTo (object value);
Here, it takes the object to compare with this instance, or null.
Return Value: It returns a 32-bit signed number indicating the relative values of current instance and
value parameter as follows:
- Less than Zero: if Current Instance < value
- Zero: if Current Instance = value
- Greater than Zero: if Current Instance > value
Exception: It throws
ArgumentException if
value is not
UInt32.
Below programs illustrate the use of
UInt32.CompareTo(Object) Method
Example 1:
Output:
11220 is greater than 2347
Example 2: For
ArgumentException
