C# program to demonstrate the overloaded less than (<) operator with TimeSpan structure

Here, we are going to demonstrate the overloaded less than (<) operator with TimeSpan structure in C#.Net.
Submitted by Nidhi, on April 21, 2021

Here, we will learn the use of overloaded less than (<) operator with an instance of TimeSpan structure. Here, less than '<' operator is overloaded using operator overloading. This operator overloaded method is used to compare two instances of TimeSpan structure. If the first instance of TimeSpan is less than the second instance of TimeSpan then it returns true otherwise it returns false.

Syntax:

bool TimeSpan.operator<(TimeSpan timeSpan1, TimeSpan timeSpan2);

Parameter(s):

• timeSpan1: timeSpan1 to be compared.
• timeSpan2: timeSpan2 to be compared.

Return value:

This method returns a boolean value, if the first instance of TimeSpan is less than the second instance of TimeSpan then it returns true otherwise it returns false.

Program:

The source code to demonstrate the overloaded less than (<) operator with TimeSpan structure is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

using System;

class TimeSpanDemo
{
    //Entry point of Program
    static public void Main()
    {
        TimeSpan timespan1 = new TimeSpan(2, 0, 0);
        TimeSpan timespan2 = new TimeSpan(2, 19, 0);
        TimeSpan timespan3 = new TimeSpan(2, 19, 0);

        if (timespan1 < timespan2)
            Console.WriteLine("timespan1 is less than timespan2");
        else
            Console.WriteLine("timespan1 is not less than timespan2");

        if (timespan2 < timespan3)
            Console.WriteLine("timespan2 is less than timespan3");
        else
            Console.WriteLine("timespan2 is not less than timespan3");
    }
}

Output:

timespan1 is less than timespan2
timespan2 is not less than timespan3
