less (STL/CLR)
The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.
The latest version of this topic can be found at less (STL/CLR).
The template class describes a functor that, when called, returns true only if the first argument is less than the second. You use it specify a function object in terms of its argument type.
Syntax
template<typename Arg>
ref class less
{ // wrap operator()
public:
typedef Arg first_argument_type;
typedef Arg second_argument_type;
typedef bool result_type;
typedef Microsoft::VisualC::StlClr::BinaryDelegate<
first_argument_type, second_argument_type, result_type>
delegate_type;
less();
less(less<Arg>% right);
result_type operator()(first_argument_type left,
second_argument_type right);
operator delegate_type^();
};
Parameters
Arg
The type of the arguments.
Member Functions
| Type Definition | Description |
|---|---|
| delegate_type | The type of the generic delegate. |
| first_argument_type | The type of the functor first argument. |
| result_type | The type of the functor result. |
| second_argument_type | The type of the functor second argument. |
| Member | Description |
|---|---|
| less | Constructs the functor. |
| Operator | Description |
|---|---|
| operator() | Computes the desired function. |
| operator delegate_type^ | Casts the functor to a delegate. |
Remarks
The template class describes a two-argument functor. It defines the member operator operator() so that, when the object is called as a function, it returns true only if the first argument is less than the second.
You can also pass the object as a function argument whose type is delegate_type^ and it will be converted appropriately.
Example
// cliext_less.cpp
// compile with: /clr
#include <cliext/algorithm>
#include <cliext/functional>
#include <cliext/vector>
typedef cliext::vector<int> Myvector;
int main()
{
Myvector c1;
c1.push_back(4);
c1.push_back(3);
Myvector c2;
c2.push_back(4);
c2.push_back(4);
Myvector c3(2, 0);
// display initial contents " 4 3" and " 4 4"
for each (int elem in c1)
System::Console::Write(" {0}", elem);
System::Console::WriteLine();
for each (int elem in c2)
System::Console::Write(" {0}", elem);
System::Console::WriteLine();
// transform and display
cliext::transform(c1.begin(), c1.begin() + 2,
c2.begin(), c3.begin(), cliext::less<int>());
for each (int elem in c3)
System::Console::Write(" {0}", elem);
System::Console::WriteLine();
return (0);
