Split type into two subtypes by predicate p, take all elements of the first subtype to be less than all the elements of the second subtype, compare elements of a single subtype with yes and no respectively.

Inputs

p

Predicate

yes

Comparison function if predicate holds for both values

no

Comparison function if predicate holds for neither value

a

First value to compare

b

Second value to compare

Type

(a -> bool) -> (a -> a -> int) -> (a -> a -> int) -> (a -> a -> int)

Examples

let cmp = splitByAndCompare (hasPrefix "foo") compare compare; in

cmp "a" "z" => -1
cmp "fooa" "fooz" => -1

cmp "f" "a" => 1
cmp "fooa" "a" => -1
# while
compare "fooa" "a" => 1
