Re: "<" operator

[Mats Weber <Mats.Weber@elca-matrix.ch>]

Assuming the guy wants lexicographic order (and wants the function to work
with lists of different lengths), I think this should be corrected as follows:

> function "<"
>   (L, R : Character_List) return Boolean is
> begin
>    if L = null then
>       if R = null then
>          return True;

should be  return False;   -- because you probably want ("" < "") = False

>       else
>          raise <lists are not same length error>;

should be  return True;    -- because "" < anything

>       end if;
> 
>    elsif R = null then
>       raise <lists are not same length error>;

should be return False;   -- because anything > ""

>       return L.Item < R.Item and L.Next < R.Next;
