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

For value types, .Equals requires the two objects to be of the same type and have the same value, while == just tests if the two values are the same.

Object.Equals
