Doubt in comparators

#1

cant understand the logic of return p1.first<p2.first as any of the two can contain the shorter word(alice as compared to bob) so it doesnt contradict the “<” operator used

#2

@ANIKET_DALAL p1.first<p2.first will sort according to lexicographic order/dictionary order of words which is not just dependent of length of word but on characters also.
If you want the sorting to be opposite of that in dictionary order then you would write p1.first>p2.first
