Synopsis

class Eq a => Ord a whereSource
The Ord
class is used for totally ordered datatypes.
Instances of Ord
can be derived for any user-defined
datatype whose constituent types are in Ord
. The declared order
of the constructors in the data declaration determines the ordering
in derived Ord
instances. The Ordering
datatype allows a single
comparison to determine the precise ordering of two objects.
Minimal complete definition: either compare
or <=
.
Using compare
can be more efficient for complex types.
