Defined in header <algorithm>
template< class BidirIt, class UnaryPredicate >

BidirectionalIterator partition( BidirIt first, BidirIt last,
                                 UnaryPredicate p );
template< class ForwardIt, class UnaryPredicate >
ForwardIt partition( ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last,

                     UnaryPredicate p );
(until C++11)

(since C++11)

Reorders the elements in the range [first, last) in such a way that all elements for which the predicate p returns true precede the elements for which predicate p returns false. Relative order of the elements is not preserved.

Contents

Parameters

first, last - the range of elements to reorder
p - unary predicate which returns ​true if the element should be ordered before other elements.

The expression p(v) must be convertible to bool for every argument v of type (possibly const) VT, where VT is the value type of ForwardIt, regardless of value category, and must not modify v. Thus, a parameter type of VT&is not allowed, nor is VT unless for VT a move is equivalent to a copy(since C++11). ​

Type requirements

Template:par req concept Template:par req concept Template:par req concept

Return value

Iterator to the first element of the second group.

Complexity

Exactly last-first applications of the predicate and at most last-first swaps. If ForwardIt meets the requirements of Template:concept at most (last-first)/2 swaps are done.

Possible implementation

template<class BidirIt, class UnaryPredicate>
BidirIt partition(BidirIt first, BidirIt last, UnaryPredicate p)
{
    while (1) {
        while ((first != last) && p(*first)) {
            ++first;
        }
        if (first == last--) break;
        while ((first != last) && !p(*last)) {
            --last;
        }
        if (first == last) break;
        std::swap(*first++, *last);
    }
    return first;
}

Example

#include <algorithm>
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <vector>
 
bool is_even(int i) { return i % 2 == 0; }
 
int main()
{
    std::vector<int> v;
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) v.push_back(i);
 
    std::cout << "Original vector:\n    ";
    std::copy(v.begin(), v.end(), std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " "));
 
    // Partition the vector
    std::vector<int>::iterator p =
        std::partition(v.begin(), v.end(), std::ptr_fun(is_even));
 
    std::cout << "\nPartitioned vector:\n    ";
    std::copy(v.begin(), v.end(), std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " "));
    std::cout << "\nBefore partition:\n    ";
    std::copy(v.begin(), p,       std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " "));
    std::cout << "\nAfter partition:\n    ";
    std::copy(p,         v.end(), std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " "));
}

Possible output:

Original vector:
    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 
Partitioned vector:
    0 8 2 6 4 5 3 7 1 9 
Before partition:
    0 8 2 6 4 
After partition:
    5 3 7 1 9
