JavaScriptView Source Request Example

JavaScript does not support generic types or methods.

Parameters

source T: Source array.
sourceOffset Int32: Offset into source array to begin compare.
other T: Other array to compare to source array.
otherOffset Int32: Offset into other array to begin compare.
count Int32: Number of bytes to compare in both arrays.

Type Parameters

T: Type of array.

Return Value

Int32

A signed integer that indicates the relative comparison of source array and other array.

Return Value	Description
Less than zero	Source array is less than other array.
Zero	Source array is equal to other array.
Greater than zero	Source array is greater than other array.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type T. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

Remarks

Note that if both arrays are null the arrays will be considered equal. If one array is null and the other array is not null, the non-null array will be considered larger.

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

sourceOffset or otherOffset is outside the range of valid indexes for the associated array -or- count is less than 0 -or- sourceOffset or otherOffset and count do not specify a valid section in the associated array.
