(C++) operator<=

 

operator<= is the operator to determine if the left-hand instance is less or equal the right-hand instance.

 

The following code uses operator<= to determine that one plus two is less or equal equal to three:

 

---

#include <iostream> int main() {   if (1 + 2 <= 3) std::cout << "One plus two is less or equal than three" << std::endl; }

 

operator<= is encapsulated by the functor std::less_equal.

 

 

 

 

 

Advice

 

 

• Reversing the order of the pair of symbols in the operators !=, >= and <= (by writing them as =!, => and =< respectively) is normally a syntax error [1]
