STD::LESS(3cxx)

💅 std::less< _Tp > — one of the comparison functors (manual section 3cxx, bestie)

okay so you found the std::less< _Tp > page and you're like "why is this so short" — because it's literally just the vibes of "less than" wrapped in a functor, and honestly? iconic. this is a C++ manpage from section 3cxx, and we're gonna walk it together. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

std::less< _Tp > — one of the comparison functors 💖

like, that's it. that's the whole personality. it compares two things and tells you if the first one is less. no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <functional>

Inherits std::binary_function< _Tp, _Tp, bool >.

Inherited by __gnu_parallel::_Less< _Tp, _Tp >.

so yeah she's a middle child in the inheritance tree — she's got a parent and she's got a kid. main character energy honestly 👑

🎀 Public Types 🎀

• typedef _Tp first_argument_type — first_argument_type is the type of the first argument ✨
• typedef bool result_type — result_type is the return type, and yes it's bool, obviously, she's not out here returning vibes 💅
• typedef _Tp second_argument_type — second_argument_type is the type of the second argument 🦋

🦋 Public Member Functions 🦋

• constexpr bool operator() (const _Tp &__x, const _Tp &__y) const — the whole entire point of her existence, lowkey

---

💜 Detailed Description 💜

template<typename _Tp>
    struct std::less< _Tp >

"One of the comparison functors." — that's the official quote, straight from the source, quotation mark and all. short! sweet! to the point! she said what she said 💀

⭐ Member Typedef Documentation ⭐

these three are all marked [inherited] from std::binary_function< _Tp , _Tp , bool > — so she got them from her parent, she didn't invent them, but she's still serving 🎀

• typedef _Tp std::binary_function< _Tp , _Tp , bool >::first_argument_type — [inherited] — first_argument_type is the type of the first argument
• typedef bool std::binary_function< _Tp , _Tp , bool >::result_type — [inherited] — result_type is the return type
• typedef _Tp std::binary_function< _Tp , _Tp , bool >::second_argument_type — [inherited] — second_argument_type is the type of the second argument

🧚 friendly reminder that all three say [inherited] — if you're trying to find these typedefs inside std::less itself, they're not there, they're up at the std::binary_function level. iykyk

okay bestie that's the whole page, go forth and compare things 💖
