Std.Data.Ord

Swaps less and greater ordering results

Equations
@[macro_inline]

If o₁ and o₂ are Ordering, then o₁.then o₂ returns o₁ unless it is .eq, in which case it returns o₂. Additionally, it has "short-circuiting" semantics similar to boolean x && y: if o₁ is not .eq then the expression for o₂ is not evaluated. This is a useful primitive for constructing lexicographic comparator functions:

structure Person where
  name : String
  age : Nat

instance : Ord Person where
  compare a b := (compare a.name b.name).then (compare b.age a.age)

This example will sort people first by name (in ascending order) and will sort people with the same name by age (in descending order). (If all fields are sorted ascending and in the same order as they are listed in the structure, you can also use deriving Ord on the structure definition for the same effect.)

Equations

Check whether the ordering is 'equal'.

Equations

Check whether the ordering is 'not equal'.

Equations

Check whether the ordering is 'less than'.

Equations

Check whether the ordering is 'greater than'.

Equations

Check whether the ordering is 'greater than or equal'.

def compareLex {α : Sort u_1} {β : Sort u_2} (cmp₁ : αβOrdering) (cmp₂ : αβOrdering) (a : α) (b : β) :

Compare a and b lexicographically by cmp₁ and cmp₂. a and b are first compared by cmp₁. If this returns 'equal', a and b are compared by cmp₂ to break the tie.
