(C++11) ( until C++20* ) (C++17)
Compile-time rational arithmetic
Compile-time integer sequences
Defined in header <ratio>
template < class R1, class R2 >
struct ratio_less : std:: integral_constant < bool , /* see below */ > { } ;
(since C++11)

If the ratio R1 is less than the ratio R2 , provides the member constant value equal true . Otherwise, value is false .

Helper variable template

template < class R1, class R2 >
constexpr bool ratio_less_v = ratio_less < R1, R2 > :: value ;
(since C++17)

Inherited from std:: integral_constant

Member constants

value
[static]
true if R1 :: num * R2 :: den < R2 :: num * R1 :: den , or equivalent expression that avoids overflow, false otherwise
(public static member constant)

Member functions

operator bool
converts the object to bool , returns value
(public member function)
operator()
(C++14)
returns value
(public member function)

Member types

Type Definition
value_type bool
type std:: integral_constant < bool , value >

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <ratio>
 
int main()
{
    using x = std::ratio<69, 90>;
    using y = std::ratio<70, 90>;
 
    if constexpr (std::ratio_less_v<x, y>)
        std::cout << x::num << '/' << x::den << " < "
                  << y::num << '/' << y::den << '\n';
}

Output:

23/30 < 7/9
