DateTimeOffset.CompareTo() Method in C#
DateTimeOffset.CompareTo(DateTimeOffset) Method is used to compare the current DateTimeOffset object to a specified DateTimeOffset object and indicates whether the current object is earlier than, the same as, or later than the second DateTimeOffset object.
Syntax: public int CompareTo (DateTimeOffset other);
Here, it takes an object to compare with the current DateTimeOffset object.Return Value: This method returns a signed integer that indicates the relationship between the current DateTimeOffset object and other.
- Less than zero: Means the current DateTimeOffset object is earlier than other.
- Zero: Means the current DateTimeOffset object is the same as other.
- Greater than zero: Means the current DateTimeOffset object is later than other.
Below programs illustrate the use of DateTimeOffset.CompareTo(DateTimeOffset) Method:
Example 1:
// C# program to demonstrate the // DateTimeOffset.CompareTo(DateTimeOffset) // Method using System; using System.Globalization; class GFG { // Main Method public static void Main() { // creating object of DateTimeOffset DateTimeOffset offset1 = new DateTimeOffset(2007, 6, 1, 7, 55, 0, new TimeSpan(-5, 0, 0)); // creating object of DateTimeOffset DateTimeOffset offset2 = new DateTimeOffset(2006, 6, 1, 7, 55, 0, new TimeSpan(-5, 0, 0)); // comparing two offset1 and offset2 // instance using CompareTo() method int value = offset1.CompareTo(offset2); if (value > 0) { Console.Write( "offset1 is later than offset2 " ); } else if (value < 0) { Console.Write( "offset1 is earlier than offset2" ); } else { Console.Write( "offset1 is equal to offset2" ); } } } |
Output:
offset1 is later than offset2
Example 2:
// C# program to demonstrate the // DateTimeOffset.CompareTo(DateTimeOffset) // Method using System; using System.Globalization; class GFG { // Main Method public static void Main() { // creating object of DateTimeOffset DateTimeOffset offset1 = new DateTimeOffset(2006, 6, 1, 7, 55, 0, new TimeSpan(-5, 0, 0)); // creating object of DateTimeOffset DateTimeOffset offset2 = new DateTimeOffset(2006, 6, 1, 7, 55, 0, new TimeSpan(-5, 0, 0)); // comparing two offset1 and offset2 // instance using CompareTo() method int value = offset1.CompareTo(offset2); if (value > 0) { Console.Write( "offset1 is later than offset2 " ); } else if (value < 0) { Console.Write( "offset1 is earlier than offset2" ); } else { Console.Write( "offset1 is equal to offset2" ); } } } |
Output:
offset1 is equal to offset2
