What's the difference between IComparable & IEquatable interfaces?

Question

both the interfaces seem to compare objects for equality, so what\'s the major differences between them?

Answer 1

IEquatable tests whether two objects are equal.

IComparable imposes a total ordering on the objects being compared.

For example, IEquatable would tell you that 5 is not equal to 7. IComparable would tell you that 5 comes before 7.
