string::operator<=

Illustrates how to use the string::operator<= Standard Template Library (STL) function in Visual C++.

template<class _E, class _TYPE, class _A> inline
   bool operator<=(const basic_string<_E, _TYPE, _A>& LString,
   const _E *RCharArray);
template<class _E, class _TYPE, class _A> inline
   bool operator<=(const _E * LCharArray,
   const basic_string<_E, _TYPE, _A>& RString);

Remarks

Observação

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 to a basic_string. They perform this operation by negating the result of (RString<LCharArray or RCharArray<LString). For more information on this comparison, see the string::operator< function. Note that this operator does not work with NULL pointer for the character array. You will need to make sure that the character array is not NULL before you pass it to the operator.

Output

S1 is DEF
CP1 is ABC
CP2 is DEF
CP3 is DEFG
CP4 is def
S1<=CP1 returned False
S1<=CP2 returned True
S1<=CP3 returned True
CP1<=S1 returned True
CP2<=S1 returned True
CP4<=S1 returned False
