Question

Is there a difference between:

double dandouble = 5.23493; //or some other random number

if (dandouble < 0.0)
    dandouble = 3.5;

and

double dandouble = 5.23493; //or some other random number

if (dandouble < 0)
    dandouble = 3.5;

Or will they turn out to result the same?

Answer 1

double a = 0.0000000000001;
int b = 0;

res = a <= b; // False
res2 = b >= a; // False

Given the above test, I’d say C# opts for the least lossy conversion. (Not a preference for left or right side)

So to answer your question, no. There isn’t a difference.
