NAME¶

std::greater - std::greater

Synopsis¶

Defined in header <functional>
template<> (since C++14)
class greater<void>;

std::greater<void> is a specialization of std::greater with parameter and return
type deduced.

Member functions¶

operator() tests if lhs compares greater than rhs
(public member function)

std::greater<void>::operator()

template< class T, class U >

constexpr auto operator()( T&& lhs, U&& rhs ) const

-> decltype(std::forward<T>(lhs) > std::forward<U>(rhs));

Returns the result of std::forward<T>(lhs) > std::forward<U>(rhs).

Parameters¶

lhs, rhs - values to compare

Return value¶

std::forward<T>(lhs) > std::forward<U>(rhs).

If a built-in operator comparing pointers is called, the result is consistent with
the implementation-defined strict total order over pointers.

Exceptions¶

May throw implementation-defined exceptions.

Example¶

// Run this code

#include <algorithm>
#include <cstdint>
#include <functional>

constexpr bool strictly_positive(int lhs)
{
return std::greater<>()(lhs, 0);
}

int main()
{
constexpr std::int64_t low = 0B11;
constexpr std::uint16_t high = 0X11;
std::greater<> greater{};
static_assert(greater(high, low));

constexpr static auto arr = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
static_assert(!std::all_of(arr.begin(), arr.end(), strictly_positive));
static_assert(std::all_of(arr.begin() + 1, arr.end(), strictly_positive));
}
