CGAL::Quadruple< T1, T2, T3, T4 > Class Template Reference

#include <CGAL/utility.h>

Definition

The Quadruple class is an extension of std::pair.

Quadruple is a heterogeneous quadruple: it holds one object of type T1, one of type T2, one of type T3, and one of type T4. A Quadruple is much like a container, in that it "owns" its elements. It is not actually a model of container, though, because it does not support the standard methods (such as iterators) for accessing the elements of a container.

CGAL::cpp11::tuple or CGAL::cpp11::array instead for new uses.

Requirements

T1, T2, T3 and T4 must be Assignable. Additional operations have additional requirements.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename T1 , typename T2 , typename T3 , typename T4 >

template<class U , class V , class W , class X >

CGAL::Quadruple< T1, T2, T3, T4 >::Quadruple	(	U	u,
		V	v,
		W	w,
		X	x
	)

constructs a quadruple such that first is constructed from u, second is constructed from v, third is constructed from w, and fourth is constructed from x.

Proper conversion operators must exist from U to T1, V to T2, W to T3, and X to T4.

template<int i>

T CGAL::Quadruple< T1, T2, T3, T4 >::get

(

)

Gives access to first, second, third or fourth whenever i is 0, 1, 2 or 3, via a, potentially const, reference.

Note: T stands for T1, T2, T3 or T4 depending on i.

bool CGAL::Quadruple< T1, T2, T3, T4 >::operator<	(	Quadruple< T1, T2, T3, T4 >	x,
		Quadruple< T1, T2, T3, T4 >	y
	)

The comparison operator.

It uses lexicographic comparison: the return value is true if the first element of x is less than the first element of y, and false if the first element of y is less than the first element of x. If neither of these is the case, then it returns true if the second element of x is less than the second element of y, and false if the second element of y is less than the second element of x. If neither of these is the case, then it returns true if the third element of x is less than the third element of y, and false if the third element of y is less than the third element of x. If neither of these is the case, then it returns the result of comparing the fourth elements of x and y. This operator may only be used if T1, T2, T3, and T4 define the comparison operator.

bool CGAL::Quadruple< T1, T2, T3, T4 >::operator==	(	Quadruple< T1, T2, T3, T4 >	x,
		Quadruple< T1, T2, T3, T4 >	y
	)

The equality operator.

The return value is true if and only the first elements of x and y are equal, the second elements of x and y are equal, the third elements of x and y are equal, and the fourth elements of x and y are equal. This operator may only be used if T1, T2, T3, and T4 define the equality operator.
