List Iterators (think it pertains to all iterators too)
What purpose are the <, <=, >, >= when comparing iterators? I looked them up on this page: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/stl/list/operators/ , but I think that just shows the operator overloads for the List type, not its iterators. Am I wrong here? If not, where do I find that documentation? If so, please correct me.
In general, is it because those comparison operators are not really useful with iterators? The loop that I was making when I noticed this is as follows (have fixed it to work using the != operator instead, but originally typed <)
Thanks for any help.

for (list<string>::const_iterator itr = words.begin(); itr != words.end(); ++itr)Thanks for any help.
These operators are defined for random access iterators. List iterators are not random access iterators.
Before ask any question about iterators you should know something about the iterator category.
