Int16.Equals Method in C# with Examples
Int16.Equals() Method is used to get a value which indicates whether the current instance is equal to a specified object or Int16. There are 2 methods in the overload list of this method which are as follows:
- Equals(Int16) Method
- Equals(Object) Method
Int16.Equals(Int16)
This method is used to return a value indicating whether the current instance is equal to a specified Int16 value or not.
Syntax: public bool Equals (short obj);
Here, it takes a Int16 value to compare to this instance.Return Value: This method returns true if obj has the same value as this instance otherwise, false.
Below programs illustrate the use of Int16.Equals(Int16) Method:
Example 1:
// C# program to demonstrate the // Int16.Equals(Int16) Method using System; class GFG { // Main Method public static void Main() { // Declaring and initializing value1 short value1 = 15; // Declaring and initializing value2 short value2 = 17; // compare both Int16 value // using Equals(Int16) method bool status = value1.Equals(value2); // checking the status if (status) Console.WriteLine( "{0} is equal to {1}" , value1, value2); else Console.WriteLine( "{0} is not equal to {1}" , value1, value2); } } |
15 is not equal to 17
Example 2:
// C# program to demonstrate the // Int16.Equals(Int16) Method using System; class GFG { // Main Method public static void Main() { // calling get() method get (5, 5); get (5, 4); get (10, 20); get (7, 7); } // defining get() method public static void get ( short value1, short value2) { // Compare both Int16 value // using Equals(Int16) method bool status = value1.Equals(value2); // checking the status if (status) Console.WriteLine( "{0} is equal to {1}" , value1, value2); else Console.WriteLine( "{0} is not equal to {1}" , value1, value2); } } |
5 is equal to 5 5 is not equal to 4 10 is not equal to 20 7 is equal to 7
Int16.Equals(Object) Method
This method is used to returns a value indicating whether the current instance is equal to a specified object or not.
Syntax: public override bool Equals (object obj);
Here, it takes an object to compare with this instance.Return Value: This method returns true if obj is an instance of Int16 and equals the value of this instance otherwise, false.
Below programs illustrate the use of the above-discussed method:
Example 1:
// C# program to demonstrate the // Int16.Equals(Object) Method using System; class GFG { // Main Method public static void Main() { // Declaring and initializing value1 short value1 = 10; // Declaring and initializing value2 // It will convert into Int16 implicitly // by the compiler to check whether it is // in the range of short data type i.e. // Int16 or not object value2 = 37; // using Equals(object) method bool status = value1.Equals(value2); // checking the status if (status) Console.WriteLine( "{0} is equal to {1}" , value1, value2); else Console.WriteLine( "{0} is not equal to {1}" , value1, value2); } } |
10 is not equal to 37
Example 2:
// C# program to demonstrate the // Int16.Equals(Object) Method using System; class GFG { // Main Method public static void Main() { // calling get() method get (5, 5); get (5, 4); get (10, 20); get (7, 7); } // defining get() method // The second parameter will get converted to Int16 // implicitly by the compiler to check whether // it is in the range of short data type i.e. // Int16 or not public static void get ( short value1, object value2) { // using Equals(object) method bool status = value1.Equals(value2); // checking the status if (status) Console.WriteLine( "{0} is equal to {1}" , value1, value2); else Console.WriteLine( "{0} is not equal to {1}" , value1, value2); } } |
5 is not equal to 5 5 is not equal to 4 10 is not equal to 20 7 is not equal to 7
