std::greater in C++ - Sanfoundry

This C++ program illustrates the use of greater predicate. The greater predicate is a binary function object which takes two parameters and returns true if first parameter is greater than the second parameter. We are using this predicate to compare the vectors lexicographically by using lexicographical_compare algorithm and passing greater as the fifth parameter.

Here is the source code of the C++ program demonstrates using greater predicate. The C++ program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.
