greater<T> greater<T> Category: functors Component type: type Description Greater<T> is a function object. Specifically, it is an Adaptable Binary Predicate, which means it is a function object that tests the truth or falsehood of some condition. If f is an object of class greater<T> and x and y are objects of class T, then f(x,y) returns true if x > y and false otherwise. Example Sort a vector in descending order, rather than the default ascending order. vector<int> V; ... sort(V.begin(), V.end(), greater<int>()); Definition Defined in the standard header functional, and in the nonstandard backward-compatibility header function.h. Template parameters Parameter Description Default T The type of greater's arguments.   Model of Adaptable Binary Predicate, DefaultConstructible Type requirements T is LessThan Comparable. Public base classes binary_function<T, T, bool>. Members Member Where defined Description first_argument_type Adaptable Binary Predicate The type of the first argument: T second_argument_type Adaptable Binary Predicate The type of the second argument: T result_type Adaptable Binary Predicate The type of the result: bool greater() DefaultConstructible The default constructor. bool operator()(const T& x, const T& y) Binary Function Function call operator. The return value is x > y. New members All of greater's members are defined in the Adaptable Binary Predicate and DefaultConstructible requirements. Greater does not introduce any new members.
