You want to make comparison operators from our class ? Only write == and > (any other combinaison), then you can deduce others using the two firsts :<br><br>!= is not ==<br>< is not > and not ==<br>etc...<br><br>Perfomance will be of course increase by writing every comparison method, but this will take you much time for a little increase. Just try to use directly the two comparison you write, and not include other like this :<br><br>=< is < or == (will become (not > and not ==) or ==, which is not very clever...)<br><br>Simple but maybe usefull,<br><br>David.

David,<br><br>Is there a question in there somewhere?<br><br>Otherwise, a common technique for implementing comparison operators is to first create a 'compare' function that returns -1, 0, 1 depending on the comparison. Then all the operators use compare() to obtain their results. They can usually be inlined for optimization.<br><br>"But, that's just my opinion... I could be wrong".<br>-pete<br>

Pete,<br><br>no there is no question here : look at the icon on the message, it's not a question mark but a lighting bulb. I've see that when posting a thread you can choose different icons, and I was fearing to use too much the question mark this days. So I decide to try to post a tip.<br>But, by the way, your method looks better !<br><br>David.
