Comparison Operators

Description

Binary comparison operators for Container() objects and derived classes.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'Container'
x == y

## S3 method for class 'Container'
x != y

## S3 method for class 'Container'
x < y

## S3 method for class 'Container'
x > y

## S3 method for class 'Container'
x <= y

## S3 method for class 'Container'
x >= y

Arguments

x, y	at least one must be a Container() object (or an object of one of the derived classes) while the other must be at least iterable.

Details

• x == y is TRUE if the contents of x and y are lexicographically equal.

• x != y is TRUE if the contents of x and y are not equal.

• x < y is TRUE if the contents of x are lexicographically less than the contents of y.

• x <= y is TRUE if the contents of x are lexicographically less than or equal to the contents of y.

Examples

c1 = container(1, 2, 3)
c2 = container(1, 3, 2)
c1 == c1            # TRUE
c1 != c2            # TRUE
c1 <= c1            # TRUE
c1 == c2            # FALSE
c1 < c2             # TRUE
c1 < container(2)   # TRUE
c1 < container()    # FALSE
