- <h1>LessThanComparable</h1>
-
- <h3>Description</h3>
-
- <p>A type is LessThanComparable if it is ordered: it must be possible to
- compare two objects of that type using <tt>operator<</tt>, and
- <tt>operator<</tt> must be a strict weak ordering relation.</p>
-
- <h3>Refinement of</h3>

- <h3>Associated types</h3>
-
- <h3>Notation</h3>

- <table summary="">

- <td valign="top"><tt>X</tt></td>

- <td valign="top">A type that is a model of LessThanComparable</td>
- </tr>

- <td valign="top"><tt>x</tt>, <tt>y</tt>, <tt>z</tt></td>
-
- <td valign="top">Object of type <tt>X</tt></td>
- </tr>
- </table>
-
- <h3>Definitions</h3>
-
- <p>Consider the relation <tt>!(x < y) && !(y < x)</tt>. If
- this relation is transitive (that is, if <tt>!(x < y) && !(y
- < x) && !(y < z) && !(z < y)</tt> implies <tt>!(x
- < z) && !(z < x)</tt>), then it satisfies the mathematical
- definition of an equivalence relation. In this case, <tt>operator<</tt>
- is a <i>strict weak ordering</i>.</p>
-
- <p>If <tt>operator<</tt> is a strict weak ordering, and if each
- equivalence class has only a single element, then <tt>operator<</tt> is
- a <i>total ordering</i>.</p>

- <h3>Notes</h3>
-
- <p><a name="n1" id="n1">[1]</a> Only <tt>operator<</tt> is fundamental;
- the other inequality operators are essentially syntactic sugar.</p>
-
- <p><a name="n2" id="n2">[2]</a> Antisymmetry is a theorem, not an axiom: it
- follows from irreflexivity and transitivity.</p>
-
- <p><a name="n3" id="n3">[3]</a> Because of irreflexivity and transitivity,
- <tt>operator<</tt> always satisfies the definition of a <i>partial
- ordering</i>. The definition of a <i>strict weak ordering</i> is stricter,
- and the definition of a <i>total ordering</i> is stricter still.</p>
