<P><B><I>greater</I></B> is a binary function object. Its <SAMP>operator()</SAMP> returns <SAMP>true</SAMP> if <SAMP>x</SAMP> is greater than <SAMP>y</SAMP>. You can pass a <B><I>greater</I></B> object to any algorithm that requires a binary function. For example, the <SAMP><A HREF="sort.html">sort()</A></SAMP> algorithm can accept a binary function as an alternate comparison object to sort a sequence. <B><I>greater</I></B> would be used in that algorithm in the following manner:</P>

vector&lt;int&gt; vec1;
.
.
sort(vec1.begin(), vec1.end(),greater&lt;int&gt;());
</PRE></UL>
<P>After this call to <SAMP><A HREF="sort.html">sort()</A></SAMP>, <SAMP>vec1</SAMP> is sorted in descending order.</P>
