Module Base.Poly

A module containing the ad-hoc polymorphic comparison functions. Useful when you want to use polymorphic compare in some small scope of a file within which polymorphic compare has been hidden

val compare : 'a -> 'a -> int
val ascending : 'a -> 'a -> int

ascending is identical to compare. descending x y = ascending y x. These are intended to be mnemonic when used like List.sort ~compare:ascending and List.sort ~compare:descending, since they cause the list to be sorted in ascending or descending order, respectively.

val descending : 'a -> 'a -> int
val (<) : 'a -> 'a -> bool
val (<=) : 'a -> 'a -> bool
val (<>) : 'a -> 'a -> bool
val (=) : 'a -> 'a -> bool
val (>) : 'a -> 'a -> bool
val (>=) : 'a -> 'a -> bool
val equal : 'a -> 'a -> bool
val min : 'a -> 'a -> 'a
val max : 'a -> 'a -> 'a
