函数源代码(这里以min_element)为例
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;
}
使用例子
// min_element/max_element example
#include <iostream> // std::cout
#include <algorithm> // std::min_element, std::max_element
bool myfn(int i, int j) { return i<j; }
struct myclass {
bool operator() (int i,int j) { return i<j; }
} myobj;
int main () {
int myints[] = {3,7,2,5,6,4,9};
// using default comparison:
std::cout << "The smallest element is " << *std::min_element(myints,myints+7) << '\n';
std::cout << "The largest element is " << *std::max_element(myints,myints+7) << '\n';
// using function myfn as comp:
std::cout << "The smallest element is " << *std::min_element(myints,myints+7,myfn) << '\n';
std::cout << "The largest element is " << *std::max_element(myints,myints+7,myfn) << '\n';
// using object myobj as comp:
std::cout << "The smallest element is " << *std::min_element(myints,myints+7,myobj) << '\n';
std::cout << "The largest element is " << *std::max_element(myints,myints+7,myobj) << '\n';
return 0;
}
输出结果
The smallest element is 2
The largest element is 9
The smallest element is 2
The largest element is 9
The smallest element is 2
The largest element is 9
函数的返回值是指针类型
