compare C# code example

Example 1: string comparison in c#

SYNTAX:
string.Compare(str1, str2);

RULE:
s1==s2 returns 0  
s1>s2 returns 1  
s1<s2 returns -1 

EXAMPLE:
using System;    
public class StringExample{    
	public static void Main(string[] args){    
        string s1 = "hello";    
        string s2 = "hello";    
        string s3 = "csharp";
        
        Console.WriteLine(string.Compare(s1,s2));   //0
        Console.WriteLine(string.Compare(s2,s3));  	//1
    }    
}

Example 2: c# compare type

using System;
using System.Reflection;

class Example
{
    public static void Main()
    {

        Type a = typeof(System.String);
        Type b = typeof(System.Int32);

        Console.WriteLine("{0} == {1}: {2}", a, b, a.Equals(b));

        // The Type objects in a and b are not equal,
        // because they represent different types.

        a = typeof(Example);
        b = new Example().GetType();

        Console.WriteLine("{0} is equal to {1}: {2}", a, b, a.Equals(b));

        // The Type objects in a and b are equal,
        // because they both represent type Example.

        b = typeof(Type);

        Console.WriteLine("typeof({0}).Equals(typeof({1})): {2}", a, b, a.Equals(b));

        // The Type objects in a and b are not equal,
        // because variable a represents type Example
        // and variable b represents type Type.

        //Console.ReadLine();
    }
}
