STL中的nth_element()方法的使用 通过调用nth_element(start, start+n, end) 方法可以使第n大元素处于第n位置(从0开始,其位置是下标为 n的元素),并且比这个元素小的元素都排在这个元素之前,比这个元素大的元素都排在这个元素之后,但不能保证他们是有序的,下面是这个方法的具体使用方法.
#pragma warning(disable: 4786)
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <functional>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
const int VECTOR_SIZE = 50 ;
vector<int> Numbers(VECTOR_SIZE) ;
vector<int>::iterator start, end, it ;
// Initialize vector Numbers
for(int i=0;i<50;++i){
Numbers[i]=i;
}
/*由于赋值时是有序的,下面random_shuffle()方法将这些数据的顺序打乱*/
random_shuffle(Numbers.begin(),Numbers.end());
// location of first element of Numbers
start = Numbers.begin() ;
// one past the location last element of Numbers
end = Numbers.end() ;
cout << "Before calling nth_element/n" << endl ;
// print content of Numbers
cout << "Numbers { " ;
for(it = start; it != end; it++)
cout << *it << " " ;
cout << " }/n" << endl ;
/*
* partition the elements by the 8th element,
*(notice that 0th is the first element)
*/
nth_element(start, start+8, end) ;
cout << "After calling nth_element/n" << endl ;
cout << "Numbers { " ;
for(it = start; it != end; it++)
cout << *it << " " ;
cout << " }/n" << endl ;
system("pause");
