## Function lexicographical_compare

## Synopsis

    // In header: <boost/algorithm/string/predicate.hpp>

    template<typename Range1T, typename Range2T, typename PredicateT>
      bool lexicographical_compare(const Range1T & Arg1, const Range2T & Arg2,
                                   PredicateT Pred);
    template<typename Range1T, typename Range2T>
      bool lexicographical_compare(const Range1T & Arg1, const Range2T & Arg2);

## Description

This predicate is an overload of std::lexicographical_compare for range arguments

It check whether the first argument is lexicographically less then the second one.

If the optional predicate is specified, it is used for character-wise comparison

Parameters: |
`Arg1` | First argument
`Arg2` | Second argument
`Pred` | Comparison predicate
Returns: | The result of the test
Notes: | This function provides the strong exception-safety guarantee
