Comparator typedef

int Comparator(T a, T b)

The signature of a generic comparison function.

A comparison function represents an ordering on a type of objects. A total ordering on a type means that for two values, either they are equal or one is greater than the other (and the latter must then be smaller than the former).

A Comparator function represents such a total ordering by returning

• a negative integer if a is smaller than b,
• zero if a is equal to b, and
• a positive integer if a is greater than b.
