carry around a pair of objects. One is of type T1, and another of
type T2; they may be the same type, but you don't get anything
extra if they are. The two members can be accessed directly, as
<code class="code">.first</code> and <code class="code">.second</code>.
</p><p>Construction is simple. The default ctor initializes each member
with its respective default ctor. The other simple ctor,
</p><pre class="programlisting">
pair (const T1&amp; x, const T2&amp; y);
</pre><p>does what you think it does, <code class="code">first</code> getting <code class="code">x</code>
and <code class="code">second</code> getting <code class="code">y</code>.
</p><p>There is a constructor template for copying pairs of other types:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
template &lt;class U, class V&gt; pair (const pair&lt;U,V&gt;&amp; p);
</pre><p>The compiler will convert as necessary from U to T1 and from
V to T2 in order to perform the respective initializations.
</p><p>The comparison operators are done for you. Equality
of two <code class="code">pair&lt;T1,T2&gt;</code>s is defined as both <code class="code">first</code>
members comparing equal and both <code class="code">second</code> members comparing
equal; this simply delegates responsibility to the respective
<code class="code">operator==</code> functions (for types like MyClass) or builtin
comparisons (for types like int, char, etc).
</p><p>
The less-than operator is a bit odd the first time you see it. It
is defined as evaluating to:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
x.first &lt; y.first ||
( !(y.first &lt; x.first) &amp;&amp; x.second &lt; y.second )
</pre><p>The other operators are not defined using the <code class="code">rel_ops</code>
functions above, but their semantics are the same.
</p><p>Finally, there is a template function called <code class="function">make_pair</code>
that takes two references-to-const objects and returns an
instance of a pair instantiated on their respective types:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
pair&lt;int,MyClass&gt; p = make_pair(4,myobject);
