title: Do < and > on C++ strings reflect alphabetical ordering?
body: <p>I have a question about alphabetical order of strings in C++. Let us say i  have two strings:<br/></p>
  
  <pre><code>    string x="asd123";
      string y="asd136";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><br/>
  Can we compare these strings with &lt; or > operators? For example: can we say <p></p>
  
  <pre><code>    if(x&gt;y)
      cout&lt;&lt;".....";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p></p>
  Does that always work? Thanks.</p>
