std::less

From cppreference.com
Defined in header <functional>
template< class T >
struct less;

Function object for performing comparisons. Uses operator< on type T.

Contents

[edit] Notes

If the built-in operator< does not provide total order for pointers, a partial specialization of std::less for pointer types is provided, which guarantees total order.

[edit] Member types

result_type bool
first_argument_type T
second_argument_type T
