Doubt in the comparator class?

#1

Why does -
return A.age > B.age;
give the ages in ascending order, shouldn’t it be in descending order?

#2

Hi, please note that by default priority_queue in C++ is max heap. So it returns the maximum according to the operator <.

For the case when we switch the operator, it returns the maximum according to the operator > which basically means the smallest element.
