Expand description
Utilities for comparing and ordering values.
This module contains various tools for comparing and ordering values. In summary:
Eq
andPartialEq
are traits that allow you to define total and partial equality between values, respectively. Implementing them overloads the==
and!=
operators.Ord
andPartialOrd
are traits that allow you to define total and partial orderings between values, respectively. Implementing them overloads the<
,<=
,>
, and>=
operators.Ordering
is an enum returned by the main functions ofOrd
andPartialOrd
, and describes an ordering.Reverse
is a struct that allows you to easily reverse an ordering.max
andmin
are functions that build off ofOrd
and allow you to find the maximum or minimum of two values.
For more details, see the respective documentation of each item in the list.

An
Ordering
is the result of a comparison between two values.Traits
Trait for equality comparisons which are equivalence relations.
Trait for types that form a total order.
Trait for equality comparisons which are partial equivalence
relations.
Trait for types that form a partial order.
Functions
Compares and returns the maximum of two values.
Returns the maximum of two values with respect to the specified comparison function.
Returns the element that gives the maximum value from the specified function.
Compares and returns the minimum of two values.
Returns the minimum of two values with respect to the specified comparison function.
Returns the element that gives the minimum value from the specified function.
