one line assert to test if STL container is sorted

Question

Is there a way to write a one line condition that would return true if STL container is sorted? The container in question is std::vector

I intend to use it in an assert<

Answer 1

It depends what STL data type you want to use.

A map is already sorted by the key provided the key has overloaded compare operators. You're good to go here.

A list requires that you explicitly call the sort function. You will need to keep track of whether or not you sorted it yet.

Hope this helps.
