Why is it better to use '!=" than '<' in a vector loop? (C++)

Question

Why is it better to use \'!=\" than \'<\' in a vector loop? I just can\'t see the difference.

Answer 1

Because you're using iterators, and it'll make the loop look exactly the same as other containers, should you choose to switch to other container types, such as set, list, unordered_set, etc. where < has no meaning.
