<array>
operators
The <array> header includes these array non-member comparison template functions.
operator!=
operator>
operator>=
operator<
operator<=
operator==
operator!=
Array comparison, not equal.
template <Ty, std::size_t N>
bool operator!=(
const array<Ty, N>& left,
const array<Ty, N>& right);
Parameters
Ty
The type of an element.
N
The size of the array.
left
Left container to compare.
right
Right container to compare.
Remarks
The template function returns !(left == right)
.
Example
// std__array__operator_ne.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <array>
#include <iostream>
typedef std::array<int, 4> Myarray;
int main()
{
Myarray c0 = {0, 1, 2, 3};
// display contents " 0 1 2 3"
for (Myarray::const_iterator it = c0.begin();
it != c0.end(); ++it)
std::cout << " " << *it;
std::cout << std::endl;
Myarray c1 = {4, 5, 6, 7};
// display contents " 4 5 6 7"
for (Myarray::const_iterator it = c1.begin();
it != c1.end(); ++it)
std::cout << " " << *it;
std::cout << std::endl;
// display results of comparisons
std::cout << std::boolalpha << " " << (c0 != c0);
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << std::boolalpha << " " << (c0 != c1);
std::cout << std::endl;
return (0);
}

false

operator<
Array comparison, less than.
template <Ty, std::size_t N>
bool operator<(
const array<Ty, N>& left,
const array<Ty, N>& right);
Parameters
Ty
The type of an element.
N
The size of the array.
left
Left container to compare.
right
Right container to compare.
Remarks
The template function overloads operator<
to compare two objects of class template array Class. The function returns lexicographical_compare(left.begin(), left.end(), right.begin())
.
Example
// std__array__operator_lt.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <array>
#include <iostream>
typedef std::array<int, 4> Myarray;
int main()
{
Myarray c0 = {0, 1, 2, 3};
// display contents " 0 1 2 3"
for (Myarray::const_iterator it = c0.begin();
it != c0.end(); ++it)
std::cout << " " << *it;
std::cout << std::endl;
Myarray c1 = {4, 5, 6, 7};
// display contents " 4 5 6 7"
for (Myarray::const_iterator it = c1.begin();
it != c1.end(); ++it)
std::cout << " " << *it;
std::cout << std::endl;
// display results of comparisons
std::cout << std::boolalpha << " " << (c0 < c0);
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << std::boolalpha << " " << (c0 < c1);
std::cout << std::endl;
return (0);

operator<=
Array comparison, less than or equal.
template <Ty, std::size_t N>
bool operator<=(
const array<Ty, N>& left,
const array<Ty, N>& right);
Parameters
Ty
The type of an element.
N
The size of the array.
left
Left container to compare.
right
Right container to compare.
Remarks
The template function returns !(right < left)
.
Example
// std__array__operator_le.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <array>
#include <iostream>
typedef std::array<int, 4> Myarray;
int main()
{
Myarray c0 = {0, 1, 2, 3};
// display contents " 0 1 2 3"
for (Myarray::const_iterator it = c0.begin();
it != c0.end(); ++it)
std::cout << " " << *it;
std::cout << std::endl;
Myarray c1 = {4, 5, 6, 7};
// display contents " 4 5 6 7"
for (Myarray::const_iterator it = c1.begin();
it != c1.end(); ++it)
std::cout << " " << *it;
std::cout << std::endl;
// display results of comparisons
std::cout << std::boolalpha << " " << (c0 <= c0);
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << std::boolalpha << " " << (c1 <= c0);
std::cout << std::endl;

operator==
Array comparison, equal.
template <Ty, std::size_t N>
bool operator==(
const array<Ty, N>& left,
const array<Ty, N>& right);
Parameters
Ty
The type of an element.
N
The size of the array.
left
Left container to compare.
right
Right container to compare.
Remarks
The template function overloads operator==
to compare two objects of class template array Class. The function returns equal(left.begin(), left.end(), right.begin())
.
Example
// std__array__operator_eq.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <array>
#include <iostream>
typedef std::array<int, 4> Myarray;
int main()
{
Myarray c0 = {0, 1, 2, 3};
// display contents " 0 1 2 3"
for (Myarray::const_iterator it = c0.begin();
it != c0.end(); ++it)
std::cout << " " << *it;
std::cout << std::endl;
Myarray c1 = {4, 5, 6, 7};
// display contents " 4 5 6 7"
for (Myarray::const_iterator it = c1.begin();
it != c1.end(); ++it)
std::cout << " " << *it;
std::cout << std::endl;
// display results of comparisons
std::cout << std::boolalpha << " " << (c0 == c0);

Remarks
The template function returns (right < left)
.
