Compares two Int64 values and returns a value indicating whether one is less than, equal to, or greater than the other.

 Public Function Compare(
	  ByRef a As Int64,
	  ByRef b As Int64 ) As Long

Parameters

a: [ByRef] Int64. The first Int64 to compare.
b: [ByRef] Int64. The second Int64 to compare.

Return Values

Long - A signed integer that indicates the relative values of x and y, as shown in the following table.

Value	Meaning
Less than zero	X is less than Y.
Zero	X equals Y.
Greater than zero	X is greater than Y.

Example

The following code illustrates comparing two 64-bit integer values.

    Public Sub Main()
        Dim x As Int64
        Dim y As Int64

        x = CInt64(1922)
        y = CInt64(400)

        Debug.Print Int64.Compare(x, y)  Displays 1
        Debug.Print Int64.Compare(x, x)  Displays 0
        Debug.Print Int64.Compare(y, x)  Displays -1
    End Sub
