std::multiset::value_compare value_comp() const; |  |

Returns the function object that compares the values. It is the same as key_comp.

### Parameters

(none)

### Return value

The value comparison function object.

### Complexity

Constant.

### Example

Run this code

    #include <cassert>
    #include <iostream>
    #include <set>

    // Example module 97 key compare function
    struct ModCmp {
        bool operator()(const int lhs, const int rhs) const
        {
            return (lhs % 97) < (rhs % 97);
        }
    };

    int main()
    {
        std::multiset<int, ModCmp> cont{1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

        // Same behaviour as key_comp()
        auto comp_func = cont.value_comp();

        const int val = 100;

        for (int key : cont) {
            bool before = comp_func(key, val);
            bool after = comp_func(val, key);
            if (!before && !after)
                std::cout << key << " equivalent to key " << val << '\n';
            else if (before)
                std::cout << key << " goes before key " << val << '\n';
            else if (after)
                std::cout << key << " goes after key " << val << '\n';
            else
                assert(0); // Cannot happen
        }
    }

Output:

    1 goes before key 100
    2 goes before key 100
    3 equivalent to key 100
    4 goes after key 100
    5 goes after key 100
