string::operator>=
Illustrates how to use the string::operator>= STL function in Visual C++.
template<class _E, class _TYPE, class _A> inline
bool operator>=(const basic_string<_E, _TYPE, _A>& _L,
const _E *_R);
template<class _E, class _TYPE, class _A> inline
bool operator>=(const _E * _L,
const basic_string<_E, _TYPE, _A>& _R);
Remarks
Note
The class/parameter names in the prototype do not match the version in the header file. Some have been modified to improve readability.
There are two versions of the string::operator>= function. Both versions are used to compare a null-terminated character array against a basic_string. They perform this operation by negating the result of (_L < _R). For more information on this comparison, see the string::operator< function.
Example
// StringGreaterEqual.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
//
// Illustrates how to use the operator>= to compare a
// basic_string variable and a null-terminated string.
//
// Functions:
//
// operator>= Returns true if the first parameter is not less than
// the second.

S1>=CP1 returned True
