Pair Logical Operator
Illustrates how to use the pair logical operator Standard Template Library (STL) function in Visual C++.
Note
Only operator< and operator== are necessary 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
); }
Remarks
Note
The class/parameter names in the prototype do not match the version in the header file. Some have been modified to improve readability.
The functions are described in the comments section of the sample.
Example
// paircomp.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
// 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.

Output
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
