UInt16.Equals Method in C# with Examples

UInt16.Equals Method is used to get a value which indicates whether the current instance is equal to a specified object or 16-bit unsigned integer or not. There are 2 methods in the overload list of this method as follows:

• Equals(UInt16) Method
• Equals(Object) Method

UInt16.Equals(UInt16) Method

This method is used to return a value indicating whether the current instance is equal to a specified 16-bit unsigned integer value or not.

Syntax: public bool Equals (ushort obj);
Here, it takes a 16-bit unsigned integer value to compare to the current instance.

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

Below programs illustrate the use of UInt16.Equals(UInt16) Method:

Example 1:

// C# program to demonstrate the
// UInt16.Equals(UInt16) Method
using System;
using System.Globalization;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {
        // Declaring and initializing value1
        ushort value1 = 52;

        // Declaring and initializing value2
        ushort value2 = 78;

        // using Equals(UInt16) 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:

52 is not equal to 78

Example 2:

// C# program to demonstrate the
// UInt16.Equals(UInt16) Method
using System;
using System.Globalization;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {

        // calling get() method
        get(98, 18);
        get(65, 65);
        get(100, 40);
        get(UInt16.MaxValue, UInt16.MinValue);
    }

    // defining get() method
    public static void get(ushort value1,
                           ushort value2)
    {

        // using Equals(UInt16) 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:

98 is not equal to 18
65 is equal to 65
100 is not equal to 40
65535 is not equal to 0

UInt16.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 the current instance.

Return Value: This method returns true if obj is an instance of UInt16 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
// UInt16.Equals(Object) Method
using System;
using System.Globalization;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {
        // Declaring and initializing value1
        ushort value1 = 17;

        // Declaring and initializing value2
        object value2 = 1 / 7;

        // 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:

17 is not equal to 0

Example 2:

// C# program to demonstrate the
// UInt16.Equals(Object) Method
using System;
using System.Globalization;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {
        // calling get() method
        get(12, 75);
        get(14, 114);
        get(77, 77);
        get(54, 76);
    }

    // defining get() method
    public static void get(ushort 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:

12 is not equal to 75
14 is not equal to 114
77 is not equal to 77
54 is not equal to 76
