java.math.BigInteger.compareTo(BigInteger val)

Description Of BigInteger:compareTo(BigInteger val)

The java.math.BigInteger.compareTo(BigInteger val) compares this BigInteger with the specified BigInteger. This method is provided in preference to individual methods for each of the six boolean comparison operators (<, ==, >, >=, !=, <=).

Code Example Java BigInteger

import java.math.BigInteger;

public class BigIntegerExam {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  BigInteger bi1 = new BigInteger("7");
  BigInteger bi2 = new BigInteger("4");

  // create int object
  int res;

  // compare bi1 with bi2
  res = bi1.compareTo(bi2);

  if (res == 0) {
   System.out.println("Both values are equal");
  } else if (res == 1) {
   System.out.println("First Value is greater");
  } else if (res == -1) {
   System.out.println("Second value is greater");
  }
 }
}
