- obj
- Char
An object to compare to this instance.
Returns
true if the obj parameter equals the value of this instance; otherwise, false.

Remarks
This method implements the System.IEquatable<T> interface, and performs slightly better than Char.Equals(Object) because it does not need to unbox the obj parameter.

Examples
The following code example demonstrates Equals.
using System;
public class EqualsSample {
    public static void Main() {
        char chA = 'A';
        char chB = 'B';
        Console.WriteLine(chA.Equals('A'));		// Output: "True"
        Console.WriteLine('b'.Equals(chB));		// Output: "False"
    }
}
let chA = 'A'
let chB = 'B'
printfn $"{chA.Equals 'A'}"    // Output: "True"
printfn $"{'b'.Equals chB}"    // Output: "False"
Module EqualsSample
    Sub Main()
        Dim chA As Char
        chA = "A"c
        Dim chB As Char
        chB = "B"c
        Console.WriteLine(chA.Equals("A"c))     ' Output: "True"
        Console.WriteLine("b"c.Equals(chB))     ' Output: "False"
    End Sub
End Module
Remarks
The comparison performed by this method is based on the encoded values of this instance and obj, not necessarily their lexicographical characteristics.
