Short-circuiting lexicographical comparison of two `Iterable`s with //! an optional custom predicate, by default `hana::less`. //! @ingroup group-Iterable //! //! Given two `Iterable`s `xs` and `ys` and a binary predicate `pred`, //! `lexicographical_compare` returns whether `xs` is to be considered //! less than `ys` in a lexicographical ordering. Specifically, let's //! denote the linearizations of `xs` and `ys` by `[x1, x2, ...]` and //! `[y1, y2, ...]`, respectively. If the first couple satisfying the //! predicate is of the form `xi, yi`, `lexicographical_compare` returns //! true. Otherwise, if the first couple to satisfy the predicate is of //! the form `yi, xi`, `lexicographical_compare` returns false. If no //! such couple can be found, `lexicographical_compare` returns whether //! `xs` has fewer elements than `ys`. //! //! @note //! This algorithm will short-circuit as soon as it can determine that one //! sequence is lexicographically less than the other. Hence, it can be //! used to compare infinite sequences. However, for the procedure to //! terminate on infinite sequences, the predicate has to be satisfied //! at a finite index. //! //! //! Signature //! --------- //! Given two `Iterable`s `It1(T)` and `It2(T)` and a predicate //! \f$ pred : T \times T \to Bool \f$ (where `Bool` is some `Logical`), //! `lexicographical_compare` has the following signatures. For the //! variant with a provided predicate, //! \f[ //! \mathtt{lexicographical\_compare} //! : It1(T) \times It2(T) \times (T \times T \to Bool) \to Bool //! \f] //! //! for the variant without a custom predicate, `T` is required to be //! `Orderable`. The signature is then //! \f[ //! \mathtt{lexicographical\_compare} : It1(T) \times It2(T) \to Bool //! \f] //! //! @param xs, ys //! Two `Iterable`s to compare lexicographically. //! //! @param pred //! A binary function called as `pred(x, y)` and `pred(y, x)`, where `x` //! and `y` are elements of `xs` and `ys`, respectively. `pred` must //! return a `Logical` representing whether its first argument is to be //! considered as less than its second argument. Also note that `pred` //! must define a total ordering as defined by the `Orderable` concept. //! When `pred` is not provided, it defaults to `less`. //! //! //!
