C# | Boolean.Equals(Object) Method

Boolean.Equals(Object) Method is used to get a value which indicates 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 the current instance.

Return Value: This method returns true true if obj is a Boolean and has the same value as this instance otherwise, false.

Below programs illustrate the use of the above-discussed method:

Example 1:

// C# program to demonstrate the
// Boolean.Equals(Object) Method
using System;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {
        // Declaring and initializing value1
        bool value1 = true;

        // Declaring and initializing value2
        object value2 = 2 / 78;

        // 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);
    }
}

Output:

True is not equal to 0

Example 2:

// C# program to demonstrate the
// Boolean.Equals(Object) Method
using System;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {
        // calling get() method
        get(true, 5);
        get(true, 4);
        get(false, false);
        get(true, true);
    }

    // defining get() method
    public static void get(bool 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);
    }
}

Output:

True is not equal to 5
True is not equal to 4
False is equal to False
True is equal to True
