% Function:         I_z = left_win(S_x,S_y)
% Author:           Rainer Storn
% Description:      left_win(S_x,S_y) takes structures S_x and S_y as an argument.
%                   The function returns 1 if the left structure of the input structures,
%                   i.e. S_x, wins. If the right structure, S_y, wins, the result is 0.
% Parameters:       S_x.I_nc     (I)    Number of constraints (must be the same for x and y).
%                   S_x.I_no     (I)    Number of objectives (must be the same for x and y).
%                   S_x.FVr_ca   (I)    Constraint array containing the constraint violation values.
%                                       If the value is 0 the constraint is met. If it is > 0 it is
%                                       still violated.
%                   S_x.FVr_oa   (I)    Objective array containing cost values which are supposed to be
%                                       minimized.
% Return value:     I_z          (O)    If S_x wins over S_y then I_z=1 else I_z=0.
