Function object for performing comparisons. The main template invokesoperator< on typeT

second_argument_type (deprecated in C++17)(removed in C++20) | T |
These member types are obtained via publicly inheritingstd::binary_function<T, T,bool>. | (until C++11) |
operator() | checks whether the first argument isless than the second (public member function) |
bool operator()(const T& lhs,const T& rhs)const; | (constexpr since C++14) | |
Checks whetherlhs isless thanrhs.
lhs, rhs | - | values to compare |
lhs< rhs.
IfT
is a pointer type, the result is consistent with theimplementation-defined strict total order over pointers.
May throw implementation-defined exceptions.
