## SmartPtr::operator<(SmartPtr\<Y\> const\&) const method


Provides less-compare semantics for [SmartPtr](../) class.

```cpp
template<class Y> bool System::SmartPtr<T>::operator<(SmartPtr<Y> const &x) const
```


| Parameter | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Y | Type of pointer to compare current one to. |

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| x | SmartPtr\<Y\> const\& | Pointer to compare current one to. |

### ReturnValue

True if the object referenced by [SmartPtr](../) is 'less' than x and false otherwise.
