min_element()与max_element()

所在头文件：#include<algorithm>

函数分类：Min/Max

函数功能：min_element()返回一个迭代器指针，指向一个范围内[first,last)的最小元素；max_element()返回一个迭代器指针，指向一个范围内[first,last)的最小元素。如果不止一个元素满足这个条件,返回的迭代器指向第一个这样的元素。

min_element()函数模板的功能相当于：

template <class ForwardIterator>
ForwardIterator min_element ( ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last )
{
  if (first==last) return last;
  ForwardIterator smallest = first;

  while (++first!=last)
    if (*first<*smallest)    // or: if (comp(*first,*smallest)) for version (2)
      smallest=first;
  return smallest;
}

max_element()函数模板的功能相当于：

template <class ForwardIterator>
ForwardIterator max_element ( ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last )
{
  if (first==last) return last;
  ForwardIterator largest = first;

  while (++first!=last)
    if (*largest<*first)    // or: if (comp(*largest,*first)) for version (2)
      largest=first;
  return largest;
}
