I didn't know about this before xD

What happens if you return true instead? Runtime error always? Probably not.

It's sad that you only see this kind of posts after you get wrong answer.
Why isn't this mentioned in tutorials, the only way to know about this is to read the documentation.(or blogs like this which you can never find without searching for)

    You are supposed to read documentation for the function BEFORE using this function

That's not all you should know about it.

In fact, it should be a Strict Weak Ordering.(transitivity and transitivity of equivalence are also needed).

There's a well-known problem which can be solved by Johnson's rule, and a simple greedy solution which sorts the jobs lacks of transitivity of equivalence. The wrong comparator is $$$P(i, j)=\min(a_i,b_j)<\min(a_j,b_i)$$$ , it should be $$$P(i, j)=\begin{cases}a_i< a_j&\min(a_i,b_j)=\min(a_j,b_i)\\min(a_i,b_j)<\min(a_j,b_i)&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$$$ .

I don't know any English material about this problem except Wikipedia, so here is this problem in Chinese. In this article (also in Chinese) written by me, I discussed about it.

If anyone is interested in it, I can write a blog about it (in English) :)

Thanks to this blog!!

But I don't understand what's the reason behind it & why it's run for small values not for larger ones

Or just use pairs of pairs of pairs, and negative numbers to find a way to use the default comparator.

A good warning,but it may not necessary to repeat so many times.
