Comparison Operators Overloading

The following table shows the list of comparsion operators and its purpose.

Comparison operators are used for sorting arrays. The following example shows how to use comparion operators.

import std.random; 
import std.stdio; 
import std.string; 
 
struct Box { 
   int volume;  
   int opCmp(const ref Box box) const { 
      return (volume == box.volume ? box.volume - volume: volume - box.volume); 
   }
   
   string toString() const { 
      return format("Volume:%s\n", volume); 
   } 
} 

void main() { 
   Box[] boxes; 
   int j = 10; 
   
   foreach (i; 0 .. 10) { 
      boxes ~= Box(j*j*j); 
      j = j-1; 
   } 
   
   writeln("Unsorted Array"); 
   writeln(boxes);  
   boxes.sort; 
   writeln("Sorted Array"); 
   writeln(boxes); 
   writeln(boxes[0]<boxes[1]); 
   writeln(boxes[0]>boxes[1]); 
   writeln(boxes[0]<=boxes[1]); 
   writeln(boxes[0]>=boxes[1]); 
}

When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result −

Unsorted Array 
[Volume:1000 
, Volume:729 
, Volume:512 
, Volume:343 
, Volume:216 
, Volume:125 
, Volume:64 
, Volume:27 
, Volume:8 
, Volume:1 
]
