C++; how to compare the string values of different iterators traversing the same string vector

Question

If two vector iterators iit and min traverse the same vector<string>, how can i compare the string values at the locations the pointers are at? i want to be able to do this:

(strcmp(*iit, *min) < 0)

Answer 1

Use the std::basic_string::compare member function:

iit->compare(*min) < 0
