23.2 Utility components [utility]

23.2.2 Operators [operators]

1
#
To avoid redundant definitions of operator!= out of operator== and operators >, <=, and >= out of operator<, the library provides the following:
template <class T> bool operator!=(const T& x, const T& y);
2
#
Requires: Type T is EqualityComparable (Table 20).
3
#
Returns: !(x == y).
template <class T> bool operator>(const T& x, const T& y);
4
#
Requires: Type T is LessThanComparable (Table 21).
5
#
Returns: y < x.
template <class T> bool operator<=(const T& x, const T& y);
6
#
Requires: Type T is LessThanComparable (Table 21).
7
#
Returns: !(y < x).
template <class T> bool operator>=(const T& x, const T& y);
8
#
Requires: Type T is LessThanComparable (Table 21).
9
#
Returns: !(x < y).

In this library, whenever a declaration is provided for an operator!=, operator>, operator>=, or operator<=, and requirements and semantics are not explicitly provided, the requirements and semantics are as specified in this Clause.
