Algorithm (C++)
In the C++ programming language, algorithms are components that perform algorithmic operations on containers and other sequences.[1]
The C++ standard provides some standard algorithms collected in the <algorithm> standard header. All algorithms are in the std namespace.
Category
- Non-modifying sequence operations (e.g. find_if, count, search)
- Modifying sequence operations (e.g. replace, remove, reverse)
- Sorting (e.g.
sort, stable_sort, partial_sort)
- Binary search (e.g. lower_bound, upper_bound)
- Heap (e.g. make_heap, push_heap)
- Min/max (e.g. min, max)
A few algorithms
- OutputIterator copy(InputIterator source_begin, InputIterator source_end, OutputIterator destination_begin)
- void fill(ForwardIterator destination_begin, ForwardIterator destination_end, T value)
- InputIterator find(InputIterator begin, InputIterator end, T search_object) (returns an iterator the found object or end, if the object isn't found)
- const T& max(const T& a, const T& b) returns the greater of the two arguments
- ForwardIterator max_element(ForwardIterator begin, ForwardIterator end) finds the maximum element of a range
- const T& min(const T& a, const T& b) returns the smaller of the two arguments
- ForwardIterator min_element(ForwardIterator begin, ForwardIterator end) finds the minimum element of a range
