The algorithms library defines functions for a variety of purposes (e.g. searching, sorting, counting, manipulating) that operate on ranges of elements. Note that a range is defined as [first, last) where last refers to the element past the last element to inspect or modify.

Contents

Constrained algorithms

C++20 provides constrained versions of most algorithms in the namespace std::ranges. In these algorithms, a range can be specified as either an iterator-sentinel pair or as a single range argument, and projections and pointer-to-member callables are supported. Additionally, the return types of most algorithms have been changed to return all potentially useful information computed during the execution of the algorithm. 

std::vector<int> v {7, 1, 4, 0, -1};
std::ranges::sort(v); // constrained algorithm
 (since C++20)


Execution policies

Most algorithms have overloads that accept execution policies. The standard library algorithms support several execution policies, and the library provides corresponding execution policy types and objects. Users may select an execution policy statically by invoking a parallel algorithm with an execution policy object of the corresponding type.

Standard library implementations (but not the users) may define additional execution policies as an extension. The semantics of parallel algorithms invoked with an execution policy object of implementation-defined type is implementation-defined.

Parallel version of algorithms (except for std::for_each and std::for_each_n) are allowed to make arbitrary copies of elements from ranges, as long as both std::is_trivially_copy_constructible_v<T> and std::is_trivially_destructible_v<T> are true, where T is the type of elements.

[edit] Sorting and related operations

[edit] Requirements

Some algorithms require the sequence represented by the arguments to be “sorted” or “partitioned”. The behavior is undefined if the requirement is not met.

A sequence is sorted with respect to a comparator comp if for every iterator iter pointing to the sequence and every non-negative integer n such that iter + n[1] is a valid iterator pointing to an element of the sequence, comp(*(iter + n), *iter) == false[1].

(until C++20)

A sequence is sorted with respect to comp and proj for a comparator comp and projection proj if for every iterator iter pointing to the sequence and every non-negative integer n such that iter + n[1] is a valid iterator pointing to an element of the sequence, bool(std::invoke(comp, std::invoke(proj, *(iter + n)),
                       std::invoke(proj, *iter)))[1] is false.

A sequence is sorted with respect to a comparator comp if the sequence is sorted with respect to comp and std::identity{} (the identity projection).

(since C++20)

A sequence [start, finish) is partitioned with respect to an expression f(e) if there exists an integer n such that for all i in [​0​, std::distance(start, finish)), f(*(start + i))[1] is true if and only if i < n.

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 iter + n simply means “the result of iter being incremented n times”, regardless of whether iter is a random access iterator.

[edit] Heap operations

A random access range [first, last) is a heap with respect to a comparator comp if bool(comp(first[(i - 1) / 2], first[i])) is false for all integer i in (​0​, last - first).

(until C++20)

A random access range [first, last) is a heap with respect to comp and proj for a comparator comp and projection proj if bool(std::invoke(comp, std::invoke(proj, first[(i - 1) / 2]),
                       std::invoke(proj, first[i])) is false for all integer i in (​0​, last - first).

A random access range [first, last) is a heap with respect to a comparator comp if the range is a heap with respect to comp and std::identity{} (the identity projection).

(since C++20)

A heap can be created by std::make_heap and ranges::make_heap(since C++20).

For more properties of heap, see max heap.

[edit] Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
LWG 193 C++98 heap required *first to be the largest element there can be elements
equal to *first
LWG 2150 C++98 the definition of a sorted sequence was incorrect corrected
LWG 2166 C++98 the heap requirement did not match the
definition of max heap closely enough 		requirement improved
