stack::operator<
Illustrates how to use the stack::operator< Standard Template Library (STL) function in Visual C++.
template<class _TYPE, class _C, class _A>
bool stack::operator<(
const stack<_TYPE, _C, _A>& _X
) const;
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.
The stack::operator< function returns true if the stack on the left side of the operator is less than the stack on the right side.
To determine if one stack is less than another stack
Compare the bottom-most element (very first element pushed onto the stack).
If the elements are different, the stack with the smaller element is less than the stack with the greater element.
If the elements are the same and there are more elements, move to the next element in the stack and go back to step 2.
If all the elements in the stacks are processed at this point, the stacks are equal.

// operator< : Returns true if the stack is smaller than the stack
// passed as the operand.
