En el ejemplo de código siguiente se muestra el método CompareTo.The following code example demonstrates the CompareTo method.

obj1 = (Single)450;

}

if ( a.CompareTo( obj1 ) > 0 )

Comentarios

El parámetro value debe ser null o una instancia de Single; de lo contrario, se produce una excepción.The value parameter must be null or an instance of Single; otherwise, an exception is thrown. Cualquier instancia de Single, independientemente de su valor, se considera mayor que null.Any instance of Single, regardless of its value, is considered greater than null.

Los valores deben ser idénticos para que se consideren iguales.Values must be identical to be considered equal. Especialmente cuando los valores de punto flotante dependen de varias operaciones matemáticas, es habitual que pierdan precisión y que sus valores sean casi idénticos, salvo por sus dígitos menos significativos.Particularly when floating-point values depend on multiple mathematical operations, it is common for them to lose precision and for their values to be nearly identical except for their least significant digits. Por este motivo, el valor devuelto del método CompareTo puede parecer sorprendente a veces.Because of this, the return value of the CompareTo method may seem surprising at times. Por ejemplo, la multiplicación por un valor determinado seguido de la división por el mismo valor debe generar el valor original, pero en el ejemplo siguiente, el valor calculado se convierte en mayor que el valor original.For example, multiplication by a particular value followed by division by the same value should produce the original value, but in the following example, the computed value turns out to be greater than the original value. Al mostrar todos los dígitos significativos de los dos valores mediante la cadena de formato numérico estándar "R", se indica que el valor calculado difiere del valor original en los dígitos menos significativos.Showing all significant digits of the two values by using the "R" standard numeric format string indicates that the computed value differs from the original value in its least significant digits.

Este método se implementa para admitir la interfaz IComparable.This method is implemented to support the IComparable interface. Tenga en cuenta que, aunque no se considera que un NaN sea igual a otro NaN (incluso a sí mismo), la interfaz de IComparable requiere que A.CompareTo(A) devuelva cero.Note that, although a NaN is not considered to be equal to another NaN (even itself), the IComparable interface requires that A.CompareTo(A) return zero.

Precisión en comparacionesPrecision in Comparisons

La precisión de los números de punto flotante más allá de la precisión documentada es específica de la implementación y la versión de la .NET Framework.The precision of floating-point numbers beyond the documented precision is specific to the implementation and version of the .NET Framework. Por consiguiente, una comparación de dos números concretos podría cambiar entre las versiones del .NET Framework porque la precisión de la representación interna de los números podría cambiar.Consequently, a comparison of two particular numbers might change between versions of the .NET Framework because the precision of the numbers' internal representation might change.

Comentarios

Los valores deben ser idénticos para que se consideren iguales.Values must be identical to be considered equal. Es común que los valores de punto flotante pierdan precisión y se conviertan en casi idénticos, excepto en los dígitos menos significativos, especialmente cuando los valores dependen de varias operaciones matemáticas.It is common for floating-point values to lose precision and to become nearly identical except for their least significant digits, especially when the values depend on multiple mathematical operations. Por este motivo, el valor devuelto del método CompareTo a veces puede parecer sorprendente.Because of this, the return value of the CompareTo method at times may seem surprising. Por ejemplo, la multiplicación por cualquier valor seguido por la división por el mismo valor debe generar el valor original.For example, multiplication by any value followed by division by the same value should produce the original value. Sin embargo, en el ejemplo siguiente, el valor calculado resulta que es mayor que el valor original.However, in the following example, the computed value turns out to be greater than the original value. Al mostrar todos los dígitos significativos de los dos valores mediante la cadena de formato numérico estándar "R", se indica que el valor calculado difiere del valor original en los dígitos menos significativos.Showing all significant digits of the two values by using the "R" standard numeric format string indicates that the computed value differs from the original value in its least significant digits.

Este método implementa la interfaz System.IComparable<T> y se ejecuta ligeramente mejor que el método Single.CompareTo porque no tiene que convertir el parámetro value en un objeto.This method implements the System.IComparable<T> interface and performs slightly better than the Single.CompareTo method because it does not have to convert the value parameter to an object.

Tenga en cuenta que, aunque un objeto cuyo valor es NaN no se considera igual a otro objeto cuyo valor es NaN (incluso en sí mismo), la interfaz IComparable<T> requiere que A.CompareTo(A) devuelva cero.Note that, although an object whose value is NaN is not considered equal to another object whose value is NaN (even itself), the IComparable<T> interface requires that A.CompareTo(A) return zero.

conversiones de ampliaciónWidening Conversions

Dependiendo del lenguaje de programación, es posible que se pueda codificar un método de CompareTo en el que el tipo de parámetro tenga menos bits (es más estrecho) que el tipo de instancia.Depending on your programming language, it might be possible to code a CompareTo method where the parameter type has fewer bits (is narrower) than the instance type. Esto es posible porque algunos lenguajes de programación realizan una conversión de ampliación implícita que representa el parámetro como un tipo con tantos bits como instancia.This is possible because some programming languages perform an implicit widening conversion that represents the parameter as a type with as many bits as the instance.

Por ejemplo, supongamos que el tipo de instancia es Single y el tipo de parámetro es Int32.For example, suppose the instance type is Single and the parameter type is Int32. El compilador de Microsoft C# genera instrucciones para representar el valor del parámetro como un objeto Single y, a continuación, genera un método Single.CompareTo(Single) que compara los valores de la instancia y la representación ampliada del parámetro.The Microsoft C# compiler generates instructions to represent the value of the parameter as a Single object, then generates a Single.CompareTo(Single) method that compares the values of the instance and the widened representation of the parameter.

Consulte la documentación del lenguaje de programación para determinar si su compilador realiza conversiones de ampliación implícitas de tipos numéricos.Consult your programming language's documentation to determine if its compiler performs implicit widening conversions of numeric types. Para obtener más información, vea el tema tablas de conversión de tipos .For more information, see the Type Conversion Tables topic.

Precisión en comparacionesPrecision in Comparisons

La precisión de los números de punto flotante más allá de la precisión documentada es específica de la implementación y la versión de la .NET Framework.The precision of floating-point numbers beyond the documented precision is specific to the implementation and version of the .NET Framework. Por consiguiente, una comparación de dos números concretos podría cambiar entre las versiones del .NET Framework porque la precisión de la representación interna de los números podría cambiar.Consequently, a comparison of two particular numbers might change between versions of the .NET Framework because the precision of the numbers' internal representation might change.
