UInt32.CompareTo() Method in C# with Examples

Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025

UInt32.CompareTo Method

is used to compare the current instance to a specified object or another

UInt32

instance. It returns an integer which shows whether the value of the current instance is less than, equal to, or greater than the value of the specified object or the other UInt32 instance. There are 2 methods in the overload list of this method as follows:

CompareTo(UInt32) Method

CompareTo(Object) Method

UInt32.CompareTo(UInt32) Method

This method is used to compare the current instance to a specified 32-bit unsigned integer and returns an integer which shows whether the value of the current instance is less than, equal to, or greater than the value of the specified 32-bit unsigned integer.

Syntax:

public int CompareTo (uint value);

Here, it takes an unsigned integer to compare.

Return Value:

It returns a 32-bit signed number indicating the relative values of current instance and

value

parameter as follows:

Less than Zero: if Current Instance < value
Zero: if Current Instance = value
Greater than Zero: if Current Instance > value

Below programs illustrate the use of

UInt32.CompareTo(UInt32)

Method

Example 1: csharp


 // C# program to demonstrate the
// UInt32.CompareTo(UInt32) Method
using System;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {

        // Declaring and initializing value1
        uint value1 = 1231;

        // Declaring and initializing value2
        uint value2 = 5123;

        // using CompareTo() method
        int status = value1.CompareTo(value2);

        // checking the status
        if (status > 0)
            Console.WriteLine("{0} is greater than {1}",
                                        value1, value2);
        else if (status < 0)
            Console.WriteLine("{0} is less than {1}",
                                     value1, value2);
        else
            Console.WriteLine("{0} is equal to {1}",
                                    value1, value2);
    }
}

Output:

1231 is less than 5123

Example 2: csharp


 // C# program to demonstrate the
// UInt32.CompareTo(UInt32) Method
using System;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {
        // calling get() method
        get(34425, 7343);
        get(340, 67520);
        get(7810, 2890);
        get(700, 700);
    }

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

        // using CompareTo() method
        int status = value1.CompareTo(value2);

        // checking the status
        if (status > 0)
            Console.WriteLine("{0} is greater than {1}",
                                        value1, value2);
        else if (status < 0)
            Console.WriteLine("{0} is less than {1}",
                                     value1, value2);
        else
            Console.WriteLine("{0} is equal to {1}",
                                    value1, value2);
    }
}

Output:

34425 is greater than 7343
340 is less than 67520
7810 is greater than 2890
700 is equal to 700

UInt32.CompareTo(Object) Method

This method is used to compare the current instance to a specified object and returns an integer which indicates whether the value of the current instance is less than, equal to, or greater than the value of the object.

Syntax:

public int CompareTo (object value);

Here, it takes the object to compare with this instance, or null.

Return Value:

It returns a 32-bit signed number indicating the relative values of current instance and

value

parameter as follows:

Less than Zero: if Current Instance < value
Zero: if Current Instance = value
Greater than Zero: if Current Instance > value

Exception:

It throws

ArgumentException

value

is not

UInt32

. Below programs illustrate the use of

UInt32.CompareTo(Object)

Method

Example 1: csharp


 // C# program to demonstrate the
// UInt32.CompareTo(Object) Method
using System;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {
        try {

            // Declaring and initializing value1
            uint value1 = 11220;

            // Declaring and initializing value2
            object value2 = (uint)2347.84376;

            // using CompareTo() method
            int status = value1.CompareTo(value2);

            // checking the status
            if (status > 0)
                Console.WriteLine("{0} is greater than {1}",
                                  value1, value2);

            else if (status < 0)
                Console.WriteLine("{0} is less than {1}",
                                  value1, value2);

            object value2 = 1 / 7;

            // using CompareTo() method
            int status = value1.CompareTo(value2);

            // checking the status
