Headers
boost::range::lexicographical_compare
is available by including
any of the following headers:

orboost/range/algorithm.hpp
Examples
lexicographical_compare.cpp
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
#include <boost/range/algorithm.hpp>
bool iless(char lhs, char rhs) {
std::locale loc;
return std::toupper(lhs, loc) < std::toupper(rhs, loc);
}
int main() {
std::string s1 = "abc";
std::string s2 = "ABD";
std::string s3 = "ab";
std::vector<int> vec = {'c', 'c'};
// Compare two ranges lexicographically, by applying operator<(), or a
// supplied binary predicate to each pair of elements.
// Can be used as a less-than operator for ranges.
bool lt_s1_s2 = boost::range::lexicographical_compare(s1, s2);
bool lt_s1_s3 = boost::range::lexicographical_compare(s1, s3);
bool lt_s1_vec = boost::range::lexicographical_compare(s1, vec);
bool ilt_s1_s2 = boost::range::lexicographical_compare(s1, s2, iless);
std::cout << "lexicographical_compare(s1, s2): " << (lt_s1_s2 ? "true" : "false") << std::endl;
std::cout << "lexicographical_compare(s1, s3): " << (lt_s1_s3 ? "true" : "false") << std::endl;
std::cout << "lexicographical_compare(s1, vec): " << (lt_s1_vec ? "true" : "false") << std::endl;
std::cout << "lexicographical_compare(s1, s2, iequals): " << (ilt_s1_s2 ? "true" : "false")
<< std::endl;
return 0;
}
Output:
lexicographical_compare(s1, s2): false
lexicographical_compare(s1, s3): false
lexicographical_compare(s1, vec): true
lexicographical_compare(s1, s2, iequals): true
