C# | Check if two BitArray objects are equal

Equals(Object) Method which is inherited from the Object class is used to check if a specified BitArray object is equal to another BitArray object or not.

Syntax:

public virtual bool Equals (object obj);

Here, obj is the object which is to be compared with the current object.

Return Value: This method return true if the specified object is equal to the current object otherwise it returns false.

Below programs illustrate the use of above-discussed method:

Example 1:

// C# code to if specified
// BitArray object is equal
// to the current object
using System;
using System.Collections;

class GFG {

    // Driver code
    public static void Main()
    {

        // Creating a BitArray
        BitArray myBitArr1 = new BitArray(4);

        // Creating a BitArray
        BitArray myBitArr2 = new BitArray(4);

        // Initializing values in myBitArr1
        myBitArr1[0] = false;
        myBitArr1[1] = false;
        myBitArr1[2] = true;
        myBitArr1[3] = true;

        // Initializing values in myBitArr2
        myBitArr2[0] = false;
        myBitArr2[2] = false;
        myBitArr2[1] = true;
        myBitArr2[3] = true;

       // using Equals(Object) method
       // to check if myBitArr1 is
       // equal to myBitArr2 or not
       Console.WriteLine(myBitArr1.Equals(myBitArr2));
    }
}

Output:

False

Example 2:

// C# code to if specified
// BitArray object is equal
// to the current object
using System;
using System.Collections;

class GFG {

    // Driver code
    public static void Main()
    {

        // Creating a BitArray
        BitArray myBitArr1 = new BitArray(4);

        // Creating a BitArray
        BitArray myBitArr2 = new BitArray(4);

        // Initializing values in myBitArr1
        myBitArr1[0] = false;
        myBitArr1[1] = false;
        myBitArr1[2] = true;
        myBitArr1[3] = true;

        // Initializing values in myBitArr2
        myBitArr2[0] = false;
        myBitArr2[2] = false;
        myBitArr2[1] = true;
        myBitArr2[3] = true;

        // using Equals(Object) method
        // to check if myBitArr1 is
        // equal to myBitArr2 or not
        Console.WriteLine(myBitArr1.Equals(myBitArr2));

        // Creating a BitArray
        BitArray myBitArr3 = new BitArray(4);

        // assigning myBitArr2 to myBitArr3
        myBitArr3 = myBitArr2;

        // using Equals(Object) method
        // to check if myBitArr2 is
        // equal to myBitArr3 or not
        Console.WriteLine(myBitArr2.Equals(myBitArr3));


    }
}

Output:

False
True

Note: If the current instance is a reference type, the Equals(Object) method checks for reference equality.
