greater
=======

Synopsis
--------

.. parsed-literal::
    
    template<
          typename T1
        , typename T2
        >
    struct greater
    {
        typedef |unspecified| type;
    };



Description
-----------

Returns a true-valued |Integral Constant| if ``T1`` is greater than ``T2``.


Header
------

.. parsed-literal::
    
    #include <boost/mpl/greater.hpp>
    #include <boost/mpl/comparison.hpp>


Model of

|Numeric Metafunction|

| Parameter     | Requirement               | Description                                   |
+===============+===========================+===============================================+
| ``T1``, ``T2``| |Integral Constant|       | Operation's arguments.                        |

|Note:| |numeric metafunction note| |-- end note|


Expression semantics
--------------------


For any |Integral Constant|\ s ``c1`` and ``c2``:

.. parsed-literal::

    typedef greater<c1,c2>::type r; 

:Return type:
    |Integral Constant|.

:Semantics:
    Equivalent to 

    .. parsed-literal::
    
        typedef bool_< (c1::value < c2::value) > r;


.. ..........................................................................

.. parsed-literal::

    typedef greater<c1,c2> r; 

:Return type:
    |Integral Constant|.

:Semantics:
    Equivalent to 

    .. parsed-literal::
    
        struct r : greater<c1,c2>::type {};



Complexity
----------

Amortized constant time.


Example
-------

.. parsed-literal::
    
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( greater< int_<10>, int_<0> > ));
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_NOT(( greater< long_<0>, int_<10> > ));
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_NOT(( greater< long_<10>, int_<10> > ));
