lower_bound源代码:
template <class ForwardIterator, class T>
ForwardIterator lower_bound (ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last, const T& val)
{
ForwardIterator it;
iterator_traits<ForwardIterator>::difference_type count, step;
count = distance(first,last);
while (count>0)
{
it = first; step=count/2; advance (it,step);
if (*it<val) { // or: if (comp(*it,val)), for version (2)
first=++it;
count-=step+1;
}
else count=step;
}
return first;
}
upper_bound源代码
template <class ForwardIterator, class T>
ForwardIterator upper_bound (ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last, const T& val)
{
ForwardIterator it;
iterator_traits<ForwardIterator>::difference_type count, step;
count = std::distance(first,last);
while (count>0)
{
it = first; step=count/2; std::advance (it,step);
if (!(val<*it)) // or: if (!comp(val,*it)), for version (2)
{ first=++it; count-=step+1; }
else count=step;
}
return first;
}
一个梨子
// lower_bound/upper_bound example
#include <iostream> // std::cout
#include <algorithm> // std::lower_bound, std::upper_bound, std::sort
#include <vector> // std::vector
int main () {
int myints[] = {10,20,30,30,20,10,10,20};
std::vector<int> v(myints,myints+8); // 10 20 30 30 20 10 10 20
std::sort (v.begin(), v.end()); // 10 10 10 20 20 20 30 30
std::vector<int>::iterator low,up;
low=std::lower_bound (v.begin(), v.end(), 20); // ^
up= std::upper_bound (v.begin(), v.end(), 20); // ^
std::cout << "lower_bound at position " << (low- v.begin()) << '\n';
std::cout << "upper_bound at position " << (up - v.begin()) << '\n';
return 0;
}
从这个例子中,可以看出。lower_bound的查找方式是:如果找到了val,则返回下标最小的那个,如果没有查找到val,则返回大于val的最小下标。而upper_bound的查找方式是:不管找没找到val,返回的值一定是大于val的最小下标。也就是说,当没有找到val的时候,两个函数的返回值相等。
