| CompareTo(nfloat) |
Compares this instance to a specified nfloat floating-point number and returns an integer that indicates whether the value of this instance is less than, equal to, or greater than the value of the specified nfloat floating-point number. |
| CompareTo(Object) |
Compares this instance to a specified object and returns an integer that indicates whether the value of this instance is less than, equal to, or greater than the value of the specified object. |
CompareTo(nfloat)
Compares this instance to a specified nfloat floating-point number and returns an integer that indicates whether the value of this instance is less than, equal to, or greater than the value of the specified nfloat floating-point number.

Remarks
The value parameter must be null or an instance of nfloat; otherwise, an exception is thrown. Any instance of nfloat, regardless of its value, is considered greater than null.
Values must be identical to be considered equal. Particularly when floating-point values depend on multiple mathematical operations, it is common for them to lose precision and for their values to be nearly identical except for their least significant digits. Because of this, the return value of the CompareTo(Object) method at times may seem surprising.
