3 | | -//! This module defines both [`PartialOrd`] and [`PartialEq`] traits which are used |
4 | | -//! by the compiler to implement comparison operators. Rust programs may |
5 | | -//! implement [`PartialOrd`] to overload the `<`, `<=`, `>`, and `>=` operators, |
6 | | -//! and may implement [`PartialEq`] to overload the `==` and `!=` operators. |
| 3 | +//! This module contains various tools for ordering and comparing values. In |
| 4 | +//! summary: |

8 | | -//! [`PartialOrd`]: trait.PartialOrd.html |
9 | | -//! [`PartialEq`]: trait.PartialEq.html |
| 6 | +//! * [`Eq`] and [`PartialEq`] are traits that allow you to define total and |
| 7 | +//! partial equality between values, respectively. Implementing them overloads |
| 8 | +//! the `==` and `!=` operators. |
| 9 | +//! * [`Ord`] and [`PartialOrd`] are traits that allow you to define total and |
| 10 | +//! partial orderings between values, respectively. Implementing them overloads |
| 11 | +//! the `<`, `<=`, `>`, and `>=` operators. |
| 12 | +//! * [`Ordering`][cmp::Ordering] is an enum returned by the |
| 13 | +//! main functions of [`Ord`] and [`PartialOrd`], and describes an ordering. |
| 14 | +//! * [`Reverse`][cmp::Reverse] is a struct that allows you to easily reverse |
| 15 | +//! an ordering. |
| 16 | +//! * [`max`][cmp::max] and [`min`][cmp::min] are functions that build off of |
| 17 | +//! [`Ord`] and allow you to find the maximum or minimum of two values. |

12 | | -//! |
13 | | -//! ``` |
14 | | -//! let x: u32 = 0; |
15 | | -//! let y: u32 = 1; |
16 | | -//! |
17 | | -//! // these two lines are equivalent |
18 | | -//! assert_eq!(x < y, true); |
19 | | -//! assert_eq!(x.lt(&y), true); |
20 | | -//! |
21 | | -//! // these two lines are also equivalent |
22 | | -//! assert_eq!(x == y, false); |
23 | | -//! assert_eq!(x.eq(&y), false); |
