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>
