# BcMath\Number::compare

(PHP 8 >= 8.4.0)

BcMath\Number::compare — Compares two arbitrary precision numbers

### 说明

public BcMath\Number::compare(BcMath\Number|string|int `$num`, ?int `$scale` = `null`): int

Compare two arbitrary precision numbers. This method behaves similar to the spaceship operator.

### 参数

`num`
  The value to be compared to.
`scale`
  Specify the `scale` to use for comparison. If `null`, all digits are used in the comparison.

### 返回值

Returns `0` if the two numbers are equal, `1` if $this is greater than `num`, `-1` otherwise.

### 错误／异常

This method throws a ValueError in the following cases:

- `num` is string and not a well-formed BCMath numeric string
- `scale` is outside the valid range

### 示例

示例 #1 BcMath\Number::compare() example when `scale` is not specified

`<?php
$number = new BcMath\Number('1.234');
var_dump(
$number->compare(new BcMath\Number('1.234')),
$number->compare('1.23400'),
$number->compare('1.23401'),
$number->compare(1),
);
?>`

以上示例会输出：

    int(0)
    int(0)
    int(-1)
    int(1)

示例 #2 BcMath\Number::compare() example of explicitly specifying `scale`

`<?php
$number = new BcMath\Number('1.234');
var_dump(
$number->compare(new BcMath\Number('1.299'), 1),
$number->compare('1.24', 2),
$number->compare('1.22', 2),
$number->compare(1, 0),
);
?>`

以上示例会输出：

    int(0)
    int(-1)
    int(1)
    int(0)
