// This example compiles using the new STLfrom ObjectSpace, Inc. // STLis the EASIEST to use STL that works on most platform/compiler // combinations, including cfront, Borland, Visual C++, C Set++, ObjectCenter, // and the latest Sun & HP compilers. Read the README.STL file in this // directory for more information, or send email to info@objectspace.com. // For an overview of STL, read the OVERVIEW.STL file in this directory. #include <stl.h> #include <iostream.h> #include <string.h> bool str_compare (const char* a_, const char* b_) { return ::strcmp (a_, b_) < 0 ? 1 : 0; } char* names[] = { "Brett", "Graham", "Jack", "Mike", "Todd" }; int main () { const unsigned namesCt = sizeof (names)/sizeof (names[0]); cout << *max_element (names, names + namesCt, str_compare) << endl; return 0; }
