//! Functionality for ordering and comparison.
//!
//! This module contains various tools for ordering and comparing values. In
//! summary:
//!
//! * [`Eq`] and [`PartialEq`] are traits that allow you to define total and
//!   partial equality between values, respectively. Implementing them overloads
//!   the `==` and `!=` operators.
//! * [`Ord`] and [`PartialOrd`] are traits that allow you to define total and
//!   partial orderings between values, respectively. Implementing them overloads
//!   the `<`, `<=`, `>`, and `>=` operators.
//! * [`Ordering`][cmp::Ordering] is an enum returned by the
//!   main functions of [`Ord`] and [`PartialOrd`], and describes an ordering.
//! * [`Reverse`][cmp::Reverse] is a struct that allows you to easily reverse
//!   an ordering.
//! * [`max`][cmp::max] and [`min`][cmp::min] are functions that build off of
//!   [`Ord`] and allow you to find the maximum or minimum of two values.
//!
//! For more details, see the respective documentation of each item in the list.

/// Trait for equality comparisons which are [partial equivalence
/// relations](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_equivalence_relation).
///
/// This trait allows for partial equality, for types that do not have a full
/// equivalence relation.  For example, in floating point numbers `NaN != NaN`,
/// so floating point types implement `PartialEq` but not `Eq`.
///
/// Formally, the equality must be (for all `a`, `b` and `c`):
///
/// - symmetric: `a == b` implies `b == a`; and
/// - transitive: `a == b` and `b == c` implies `a == c`.
///
/// Note that these requirements mean that the trait itself must be implemented
/// symmetrically and transitively: if `T: PartialEq<U>` and `U: PartialEq<V>`
/// then `U: PartialEq<T>` and `T: PartialEq<V>`.
///
/// ## Derivable
///
/// This trait can be used with `#[derive]`. When `derive`d on structs, two
/// instances are equal if all fields are equal, and not equal if any fields
/// are not equal. When `derive`d on enums, each variant is equal to itself
/// and not equal to the other variants.
///
/// ## How can I implement `PartialEq`?
///
/// PartialEq only requires the `eq` method to be implemented; `ne` is defined
/// in terms of it by default. Any manual implementation of `ne` *must* respect
/// the rule that `eq` is a strict inverse of `ne`; that is, `!(a == b)` if and
/// only if `a != b`.
///
/// Implementations of `PartialEq`, `PartialOrd`, and `Ord` *must* agree with
/// each other. It's easy to accidentally make them disagree by deriving some
/// of the traits and manually implementing others.
///
/// An example implementation for a domain in which two books are considered
/// the same book if their ISBN matches, even if the formats differ:
///
/// ```
/// enum BookFormat {
///     Paperback,
///     Hardback,
///     Ebook,
/// }
///
/// struct Book {
///     isbn: i32,
///     format: BookFormat,
/// }
///
/// impl PartialEq for Book {
///     fn eq(&self, other: &Book) -> bool {
///         self.isbn == other.isbn
///     }
/// }
///
/// let b1 = Book { isbn: 3, format: BookFormat::Paperback };
/// let b2 = Book { isbn: 3, format: BookFormat::Ebook };
/// let b3 = Book { isbn: 10, format: BookFormat::Paperback };
///
/// assert!(b1 == b2);
/// assert!(b1 != b3);
/// ```
///
/// ## How can I compare two different types?
///
/// The type you can compare with is controlled by `PartialEq`'s type parameter.
/// For example, let's tweak our previous code a bit:
///
/// ```
/// enum BookFormat {
///     Paperback,
///     Hardback,
///     Ebook,
/// }
///
/// struct Book {
///     isbn: i32,
///     format: BookFormat,
/// }
///
/// impl PartialEq<BookFormat> for Book {
///     fn eq(&self, other: &BookFormat) -> bool {
///         match (&self.format, other) {
///            (BookFormat::Paperback, BookFormat::Paperback) => true,
///            (BookFormat::Hardback,  BookFormat::Hardback)  => true,
///            (BookFormat::Ebook,     BookFormat::Ebook)     => true,
///            (_, _) => false,
///         }
///     }
/// }
///
/// let b1 = Book { isbn: 3, format: BookFormat::Paperback };
///
/// assert!(b1 == BookFormat::Paperback);
/// assert!(b1 != BookFormat::Ebook);
/// ```
///
/// By changing `impl PartialEq for Book` to `impl PartialEq<BookFormat> for Book`,
/// we've changed what type we can use on the right side of the `==` operator.
/// This lets us use it in the `assert!` statements at the bottom.
///
/// You can also combine these implementations to let the `==` operator work with
/// two different types:
///
/// ```
/// enum BookFormat {
///     Paperback,
///     Hardback,
///     Ebook,
/// }
///
/// struct Book {
///     isbn: i32,
///     format: BookFormat,
/// }
///
/// impl PartialEq<BookFormat> for Book {
///     fn eq(&self, other: &BookFormat) -> bool {
///         match (&self.format, other) {
///            (&BookFormat::Paperback, &BookFormat::Paperback) => true,
///            (&BookFormat::Hardback,  &BookFormat::Hardback)  => true,
///            (&BookFormat::Ebook,     &BookFormat::Ebook)     => true,
///            (_, _) => false,
///         }
///     }
/// }
///
/// impl PartialEq for Book {
///     fn eq(&self, other: &Book) -> bool {
///         self.isbn == other.isbn
///     }
/// }
///
/// let b1 = Book { isbn: 3, format: BookFormat::Paperback };
/// let b2 = Book { isbn: 3, format: BookFormat::Ebook };
///
/// assert!(b1 == BookFormat::Paperback);
/// assert!(b1 != BookFormat::Ebook);
/// assert!(b1 == b2);
/// ```
///
/// # Examples

/// let y: u32 = 1;
///
/// assert_eq!(x == y, false);
/// assert_eq!(x.eq(&y), false);
