|operator!=|operator>|operator>=|

operator!=

Array comparison, not equal.

template <Ty, std::size_t N>  
bool operator!=(
    const array<Ty, N>& left,  
    const array<Ty, N>& right);

Parameters

Ty
The type of an element.

N
The size of the array.

left
Left container to compare.

right
Right container to compare.

Remarks

The template function returns !(``left == right``).

Example

// std_tr1__array__operator_ne.cpp   
// compile with: /EHsc   
#include <array>   
#include <iostream>   
  
typedef std::array<int, 4> Myarray;   
int main()   
    {   
    Myarray c0 = {0, 1, 2, 3};   
  
// display contents " 0 1 2 3"   
    for (Myarray::const_iterator it = c0.begin();   
        it != c0.end(); ++it)   
        std::cout << " " << *it;   
    std::cout << std::endl;   
  
    Myarray c1 = {4, 5, 6, 7};   
  
// display contents " 4 5 6 7"   
    for (Myarray::const_iterator it = c1.begin();   
        it != c1.end(); ++it)   
        std::cout << " " << *it;   
    std::cout << std::endl;   
  
// display results of comparisons   
    std::cout << std::boolalpha << " " << (c0 != c0);   
    std::cout << std::endl;   
    std::cout << std::boolalpha << " " << (c0 != c1);   
    std::cout << std::endl;   
  
    return (0);   
    }   
0 1 2 3  
4 5 6 7  
false  
true  

operator<

Array comparison, less than.

template <Ty, std::size_t N>  
bool operator<(
    const array<Ty, N>& left,  
    const array<Ty, N>& right);

Parameters

Ty
The type of an element.

N
The size of the array.

left
Left container to compare.

right
Right container to compare.

Remarks

The template function overloads operator< to compare two objects of template class array Class. The function returns lexicographical_compare(``left``.begin(), left``.end(), right``.begin()).

Example

// std_tr1__array__operator_lt.cpp   
// compile with: /EHsc   
#include <array>   
#include <iostream>   
  
typedef std::array<int, 4> Myarray;   
int main()   
    {   
    Myarray c0 = {0, 1, 2, 3};   
  
// display contents " 0 1 2 3"   
    for (Myarray::const_iterator it = c0.begin();   
        it != c0.end(); ++it)   
        std::cout << " " << *it;   
    std::cout << std::endl;   
  
    Myarray c1 = {4, 5, 6, 7};   
  
// display contents " 4 5 6 7"   
    for (Myarray::const_iterator it = c1.begin();   
        it != c1.end(); ++it)   
        std::cout << " " << *it;   
    std::cout << std::endl;   
  
// display results of comparisons   
    std::cout << std::boolalpha << " " << (c0 < c0);   
    std::cout << std::endl;   
    std::cout << std::boolalpha << " " << (c0 < c1);   
    std::cout << std::endl;   
  
    return (0);   
    }  
  
0 1 2 3  
4 5 6 7  
false  
true

    const array<Ty, N>& right);

Parameters

Ty
The type of an element.

N
The size of the array.

left
Left container to compare.

right

Remarks

The template function returns !(``right < left``).

Example
