I do appreciate how newer C++ standards have made these kinds of things a lot easier too.
Define all comparison operators with just one one line using C++20
auto operator<=>(const ClassName&) const = default;
That is completely incomprehensible lol
Maybe to a non C++ dev, but a lot of C++ is probably incomprehensible to a non C++ dev, just like there are other laguages that are incomprehensible to C++ devs. To me it makes perfect sense as it works just like all the other operator overloads.
auto
- let the compiler deduce return typeoperator<=>
- override the spaceship operator (pretty sure it exists in python too)(const ClassName&)
- compare this class, presumably defined in Class name, with a const reference of type Class name, i.e. its own type.const
- comparison can be made for const objects= default;
- Use the default implementation, which is comparing all the member variables.An alternate more explicit version, which is actually what people recommend:
auto operator<=>(const ClassName&, const ClassName&) = default;
if I just want to have less than comparison for example I would:
This one makes it explicit that you're comparing two Class name objects.
if I just want to have less than comparison for example I would:
auto operator<(const ClassName&, const ClassName&) = default;
If I need to compare against another class I could define:
auto operator<(const ClassName&, const OtherClass&)
You just need to break the syntax apart and look at it from the LHS and the RHS seperately.
In layman's terms: constantine felt boxed in by his social class which left him often at dagger-ends to the operations on his car. Unable to keep up with the constant payments, he defaulted on the loan.
See? Easy.
