替代strcmp（）的，按字母顺序排序字符串

    string fname;

void load(istream &input, stuType Student[], int *size) { 

    int length = 0, i = 0; 

    float gpa;

    cout<<"==================================="<<endl; 
    for (int i = 0; i<length; i++) { 
     cout<<"[ENTRY] Index: "<<i<<" | SSN: "<<Student[i].get_ssn()<<" | fname: "<<Student[i].get_fname()<<" | lname: "<<Student[i].get_lname()<<" | gpa: "<<Student[i].get_gpa()<<endl;

void exchange(stuType &a, stuType &b) { 

    stuType *temp; 

    *temp = a; 
    a = b; 
    b = *temp; 

    delete temp; 
} 

void shellSort(stuType Student[], int size) { 

    int gap = size/2; 
    bool passOK; 

    while(gap>0) { 
     passOK = true; 

     for(int i = 0; i<size-gap; i++) { 
      if (strcmp(Student[i].get_lname(), Student[i+gap].get_lname)>0) { 
       cout<<"[Node::Sort] Exchanging Index ["<<i<<"] with Index ["<<i+gap<<"]..."<<endl; 
       exchange(Student[i], Student[i+gap]); 
       passOK = false; 
      } else if (strcmp(Student[i].get_lname(), Student[i+gap].get_lname())==0) { 
       if (strcmp(Student[i].get_fname(), Student[i+gap].get_fname())>0) { 
        cout<<"[Node::Sort] Exchanging Index ["<<i<<"] with Index ["<<i+gap<<"]..."<<endl; 
        exchange(Student[i], Student[i+gap]); 
        passOK = false; 
       } 
      } 
     } 

     if (passOK) { 
      gap /= 2; 
     } 
    } 
} 

的strcmp（）期望接收的字符数组做比较，但因为我我正在使用字符串，我不能那样做。什么是替代方案？如果Student [i] .get_lname（）大于Student [i + gap] .get_lname（），则变量'lname'需要进行比较并返回true。然后调用交换函数并交换对象局部变量的值。对象应根据'lname'变量的升序进行排序，'fname'变量只应在被比较的两个'lname'相同时引用。

C++串提供implementations of operators < and >，所以可以代替使用它们的strcmp：

std::string a = "hello"; 
std::string b = "world"; 
if (a < b) { 
    cout << a << " is less than " << b << endl; 
}
