collate Class
A template class that describes an object that can serve as a locale facet to control the ordering and grouping of characters within a string, comparisons between them and the hashing of strings.
For a list of all members of this type, see collate Members.
template <class CharType >
class collate : public locale::facet
Parameters
- CharType
The type used within a program to encode characters.
Remarks
As with any locale facet, the static object ID has an initial stored value of zero. The first attempt to access its stored value stores a unique positive value in id. In some languages, characters are grouped and treated as a single character, and in others, individual characters are treated as if they were two characters. The collating services provided by the collate class provide the way to sort these cases.
Requirements
Header: <locale>
