powershell - Two identical datetimes not comparing equal -

i have 2 dates identical far can tell.

$thedate = (get-date -hour 0 -minute 00 -second 00) $otherdate = (get-date -hour 0 -minute 00 -second 00) 

executed in order

both of these show monday, may 11, 2015 12:00:00 am, when ($thedate -eq $otherdate) returns false. i've tried $thedate.equals($otherdate) , (($thedate) -eq ($otherdate)) same thing. thing can return true ($thedate -gt $otherdate) crazy or noob?

you forgetting millisecond field, different 2 datetimes:

ps > $thedate = (get-date -hour 0 -minute 00 -second 00) ps > $otherdate = (get-date -hour 0 -minute 00 -second 00) ps > $thedate.millisecond 122   ps > $otherdate.millisecond 280 

setting these fields same value fixes problem:

ps > $thedate = (get-date -hour 0 -minute 00 -second 00 -millisecond 000) ps > $otherdate = (get-date -hour 0 -minute 00 -second 00 -millisecond 000) ps > $thedate -eq $otherdate true 

although might easier assign 2 variables same datetime:

ps > $thedate = (get-date -hour 0 -minute 00 -second 00)  ps > $otherdate = $thedate ps > $thedate -eq $otherdate true
