Int32.Equals Method in C# with Examples

04 Apr, 2019
Int32.Equals() Method is used to get a value which indicates whether the current instance is equal to a specified object or Int32 or not. There are two methods in the overload list of this method as follows:
Equals(Int32) Method
Equals(Object) Method
This method is used to return a value indicating whether the current instance is equal to a specified Int32 value or not.
Syntax: public bool Equals (int obj);Here, it takes a Int32 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 Int32.Equals(Int32) Method:
Example 1:
// C# program to demonstrate the// Int32.Equals(Int32) Methodusing System;using System.Globalization;  class GFG {      // Main Method    public static void Main()    {        // Declaring and initializing value1        int value1 = 4562;          // Declaring and initializing value2        int value2 = 2563;          // using Equals(Int32) 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);    }}
4562 is not equal to 2563

Example 2:
// C# program to demonstrate the// Int32.Equals(Int32) Methodusing System;using System.Globalization;  class GFG {      // Main Method    public static void Main()    {          // calling get() method        get(455, 578);        get(445, 445);        get(10, 20);        get(Int32.MaxValue, Int32.MinValue);    }      // defining get() method    public static void get(int value1, int value2)    {          // using Equals(Int32) 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);    }}
455 is not equal to 578
445 is equal to 445
10 is not equal to 20
2147483647 is not equal to -2147483648

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 Int32 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// Int32.Equals(Object) Methodusing System;using System.Globalization;  class GFG {      // Main Method    public static void Main()    {        // Declaring and initializing value1        int value1 = 10;          // Declaring and initializing value2        object value2 = 1 / 45;          // 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 0

Example 2:
// C# program to demonstrate the// Int32.Equals(Object) Methodusing System;using System.Globalization;  class GFG {      // Main Method    public static void Main()    {        // calling get() method        get(547, 585);        get(555, 489);        get(100, 100);        get(745, 725);    }      // defining get() method    public static void get(int value1,                         object value2)    {          // compare both Int32 value        // 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);    }}
547 is not equal to 585
555 is not equal to 489
100 is equal to 100
745 is not equal to 725
