Simple question: Why is count() listed here and distance() listed in the iterators library?
- The most direct answer is probably that count is a part of the algorithms library in Standard C++, while distance is part of the Iterators library. They are also declared in different headers. Note that std::count does something with the elements of a sequence, while std::distance operates on iterators only. --Cubbi (talk) 04:21, 19 September 2014 (PDT)
