## Synopsis

    template<typename Range1T, typename Range2T, typename PredicateT>
      bool starts_with(const Range1T & Input, const Range2T & Test,
                       PredicateT Comp);
    template<typename Range1T, typename Range2T>
      bool starts_with(const Range1T & Input, const Range2T & Test);

## Description

Parameters:

`Comp` | An element comparison predicate
`Input` | An input sequence
`Test` | A test sequence
