operator> (set)

Tests if the set object on the left side of the operator is greater than the set object on the right side.

bool operator>(
   const set <Key, Traits, Allocator>& _Left,
   const set <Key, Traits, Allocator>& _Right
);

Parameters

  • _Left
    An object of type set.

  • _Right
    An object of type set.

Return Value

true if the set on the left side of the operator is greater than the set on the right side of the operator; otherwise false.

Remarks

The comparison between set objects is based on a pairwise comparison of their elements. The greater-than relationship between two objects is based on a comparison of the first pair of unequal elements.

Example

// set_op_gt.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <set>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;
   set <int> s1, s2, s3;
   int i;

   for ( i = 0 ; i < 3 ; i++ )
   {
      s1.insert ( i );
      s2.insert ( i * i );
      s3.insert ( i - 1 );
   }

   if ( s1 > s2 )
      cout << "The set s1 is greater than the set s2." << endl;
   else
      cout << "The set s1 is not greater than the set s2." << endl;

   if ( s1 > s3 )
      cout << "The set s1 is greater than the set s3." << endl;
   else
      cout << "The set s1 is not greater than the set s3." << endl;
}
The set s1 is not greater than the set s2.
The set s1 is greater than the set s3.
