CGAL 5.3.2 - STL Extensions for CGAL
CGAL::Triple< T1, T2, T3 > Class Template Reference

#include <CGAL/utility.h>

Definition

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

Triple is a heterogeneous triple: it holds one object of type T1, one of type T2, and one of type T3. A Triple 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.

std::tuple or std::array instead for new uses.

Requirements

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

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Triple()

template<typename T1 , typename T2 , typename T3 >
template<class U , class V , class W >
CGAL::Triple< T1, T2, T3 >::Triple ( u,
v,
w 
)

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

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

Member Function Documentation

◆ get()

template<typename T1 , typename T2 , typename T3 >
template<int i>
T CGAL::Triple< T1, T2, T3 >::get ( )

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

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

◆ operator
template<typename T1 , typename T2 , typename T3 >
template<class T1 , class T2 , class T3 >
bool CGAL::Triple< T1, T2, T3 >::operator< ( Triple< T1, T2, T3 >  x,
Triple< T1, T2, T3 >  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 the result of comparing the third elements of x and y. This operator may only be used if T1, T2 and T3 define the comparison operator.

◆ operator==()

template<typename T1 , typename T2 , typename T3 >
template<class T1 , class T2 , class T3 >
bool CGAL::Triple< T1, T2, T3 >::operator== ( Triple< T1, T2, T3 >  x,
Triple< T1, T2, T3 >  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, and the third elements of x and y are equal. This operator may only be used if T1, T2 and T3 define the equality operator.
