如果我这样定义我的compare
函数:
bool compare(Student& a, Student& b)
{
return a.n < b.n;
}
g++ 会抱怨:
g++ -Wall main.cpp -o main

但是如果我定义了与const
类型的比较,它将编译并正常工作。
这是所有代码:
class Student {
public:
Student(string);
string n;
};
bool compare(Student& a, Student& b)
{
return a.n < b.n;
}
Student::Student(string name) { n = name; }
int main()
{
Student A = Student("A");
Student B = Student("B");
vector<Student> students;
students.push_back(B);
students.push_back(A);
sort(students.begin(), students.end(), compare);
cout << "After sort" << endl;
for(vector<Student>::iterator i = students.begin(); i != students.end(); ++i) {
cout << "Student: " << i->n << endl;
}
return 0;
}
