SUMMARY
=======
The sample code below illustrates how to use the pair logical operator STL
functions in Visual C++.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Required Header
---------------
< utility >
Prototype
---------
It is interesting to note that only the < and == operators are necessary in
order to define all of the logical operators.
template<class _T1, class _T2> inline
bool operator==(const pair<_T1, _T2>& _X,
const pair<_T1, _T2>& _Y)
{return (_X.first == _Y.first && _X.second == _Y.second); }
template<class _T1, class _T2> inline
bool operator<(const pair<_T1, _T2>& _X,
const pair<_T1, _T2>& _Y)
{return (_X.first < _Y.first ||
!(_Y.first < _X.first) && _X.second < _Y.second); }
NOTE: The class/parameter names in the prototype may not match the version in the
header file. Some have been modified to improve readability.
Description
-----------
The functions are described in the comments section of the sample.
Sample Code
-----------
/////////////////////////////
// Compile options needed: none
//
// paircomp.cpp : Illustrates several comparison
// operators used to compare two
// pair objects.
//
// Functions:
//
// operator== - returns true if two pair objects are identical.
//
// operator!= - returns true if two pair objects are not identical.
//
// operator< - returns true for (A < B) if pair object A is less
// than pair object B.
//
// operator<= - returns true for (A <= B) if pair object A is less
// than or equal to pair object B.
//
// operator> - returns true for (A > B) if pair object A is greater
// than pair object B.
//
// operator>= - returns true for (A >= B) if pair object A is greater
// than or equal to pair object B.

/* operator<= */

}
Program Output is:
A = ( 10 , 3.14 )
B = ( 18 , 3.14 )
C = ( 10 , 6.28 )
D = ( 10 , 3.14 )
A and D are equal
B and C are not equivalent
A is not greater than C
A is not greater than or equal to C
C is not less than D
C is not less than or equal to D
