Concept Definition

Refines

Required Functions

operator>	C++ built-in greater-than comparison operator.
operator>=	C++ built-in greather-than-or-equal comparison operator.
operator<	C++ built-in less-than comparison operator. (LessThanComparableConcept)
operator<=	C++ built-in less-than-or-equal comparison operator.

Refinements

IntegerConcept	An integral type.
OrderedAlphabetConcept	Totally strict ordered alphabet.

Comparable<T>

Include Headers

seqan/basic.h

Remarks

Expects instances of type T to be comparable. Comparison operators must return boolean convertible values.

Implemented by

Implementation for "simple" types. (FiniteOrderedAlphabetConcept)

Examples

Valid expressions:

a < b;
a > b;
a <= b;
a >= b;

Invariants:

a<b Û b>a\nl a<=b Û b>=a\nl a<=b Û a<b or (a<=b and a>=b)
