What is the difference between == and Equals() for primitives in C#?

Question

Consider this code:

int age = 25;
short newAge = 25;
Console.WriteLine(age == newAge);  //true
Console.WriteLine(newAge.Equals(age)); //false
Console.ReadLin         


        

Answer 1

When you pass int to short's Equals you pass object:

So this pseudocode runs:

return obj is short && this == (short)obj;
