 NAME

   greater  - Binary function object that returns true if its first
   argument is greater than its second.

 SYNOPSIS

   #include <functional>

   template <class T>
   struct greater : binary_function<T, T, bool> {
    typedef typename binary_function<T, T, bool>::second_argument_type
 						 second_argument_type;
    typedef typename binary_function<T, T, bool>::first_argument_type
 						 first_argument_type;
    typedef typename binary_function<T, T, bool>::result_type
 						 result_type;
    bool	operator() (const T&, const T&)	const;
   };

 DESCRIPTION

   greater is a binary function object.	Its operator() returns true if
   x is greater than y.  You can pass	a greater object to any
   algorithm that requires a binary function.  For example, the
   transform algorithm applies a binary operation to corresponding
   values in two collections and stores the result of the
   function.  greater would be used in that algorithm in the following
   manner:

   vector<int> vec1;
   vector<int> vec2;
   vector<int> vecResult;
   transform(vec1.begin(), vec1.end(),
 	   vec2.begin(),  vecResult.begin(), greater<int>());

 WARNINGS

   After	this call to transform,	vecResult(n) will contain a "1"	if
   vec1(n) was greater than  vec2(n) or a "0" if	vec1(n)	was less than
   or equal to vec2(n).

   If your compiler does	not support default template parameters, then
   you need to always supply	the Allocator template argument.  For
   instance, you'll have to write :

   vector<int, allocator<int> >

   instead of

   vector<int>
