Comparison Operators (Java and C# Cross Reference Guide)

By Mike Prestwood

Java versus C#: A side by side comparison between Java and C#.

Operators

A language symbol used for assignment, comparison, computational, or as a logical.

Comparison Operators

[Other Languages]

General Info: Round Floating Point Numbers

When comparing floating point numbers, make sure you round to an acceptable level of rounding for the type of application you are using.

Languages Focus

A comparison operator compares two values either literals as in "Hello" and 3 or variables as in X and Counter. Most languages use the same operators for comparing both numbers and strings. Perl, for example, uses separate sets of comparison operators for numbers and strings.

Java: ==, !=

The Java comparison operators are:

==	equal
!=	not equal
<	less than
>	greater than
<=	less than or equal
>=	greater than or equal

More Info / Comment

C#: ==, !=

Common comparison operators:

==	equal
!=	not equal
<	less than
>	greater than
<=	less than or equal
>=	greater than or equal

Syntax Example:

//Does C# evaluate the math correctly? No!

if (.1 + .1 + .1 == .3)
  MessageBox.Show("correct");
else
  MessageBox.Show("not correct");
