Multiset Behaviour

Revision en1, by Deanamic_Programming, 2017-10-03 11:04:44

Hello Codeforces, I've been trying to learn how to run a DP with the convexhull optimization and I have seen this code for a line container (KTH pdf):

struct Line {
	mutable long long k, m, p;
	bool operator<(const Line& o) const {
		return Q ? p < o.p : k < o.k;
	}
};

struct LineContainer : multiset<Line> {..}

So depending in the value of Q the comparator function will do different things, how does multiset cope with this? and how does it affect the complexity of this container?

Thank you very much for the help!
