Detailed Description
A value of type Qt::partial_ordering is typically returned from a three-way comparison function. Such a function compares two objects, establishing whether they are ordered and, if so, their ordering. It uses this return type to indicate that the ordering is partial; that is, not all pairs of values are ordered.
Qt::partial_ordering has four values, represented by the following symbolic constants:
- less represents that the left operand is less than the right;
- equivalent represents that the two operands are equivalent;
- greater represents that the left operand is greater than the right;
- unordered represents that the two operands are not ordered.
Qt::partial_ordering is idiomatically used by comparing an instance against a literal zero, for instance like this:
// given a, b, c, d as objects of some type that allows for a 3-way compare, // and a compare function declared as follows:
Qt::partial_ordering compare(T lhs, T rhs); // defined out-of-line
~~~
Qt::partial_ordering result = compare(a, b); if (result < 0) { // a is less than b }
if (compare(c, d) >= 0) { // c is greater than or equal to d }
Comparing Qt::partial_ordering::unordered against literal 0 always returns a false
result.

Member Function Documentation
[constexpr noexcept]
partial_ordering::partial_ordering(std::partial_ordering stdorder)
Constructs a Qt::partial_ordering object from stdorder using the following rules:
- std::partial_ordering::less converts to less.
- std::partial_ordering::equivalent converts to equivalent.
- std::partial_ordering::greater converts to greater.
- std::partial_ordering::unordered converts to unordered
[constexpr noexcept]
std::partial_ordering partial_ordering::operator std::partial_ordering() const
Converts this Qt::partial_ordering value to a std::partial_ordering object using the following rules:
- less converts to std::partial_ordering::less.
- equivalent converts to std::partial_ordering::equivalent.
- greater converts to std::partial_ordering::greater.
- unordered converts to std::partial_ordering::unordered.
Member Variable Documentation
const Qt::partial_ordering partial_ordering::equivalent
Represents the result of a comparison where the two operands are equivalent.
const Qt::partial_ordering partial_ordering::greater
Represents the result of a comparison where the left operand is greater than the right operand.
const Qt::partial_ordering partial_ordering::less
Represents the result of a comparison where the left operand is less than the right operand.
const Qt::partial_ordering partial_ordering::unordered
Represents the result of a comparison where there is no ordering relationship between the two operands.
