c++中的min_element()与max_element()

c++中的min_element()与max_element()

头文件: #include<algorithm>

**作用:**返回容器中的最小值或者最大值的迭代器（迭代器可以理解为指针）

举例如下

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

bool cmp(int a, int b)
{
    return a < b;
}

int main()
{
    vector<int> ints = {5, 3, 90, 32, 24, 56, 98, 54, 76, 45, 89, 100};
    auto min_iterator = min_element(ints.begin(), ints.end(), cmp);
    cout << *min_iterator << endl;	//输出为 3 ，此时的min_iterator为迭代器，需要解引用才能获得最小值
    return 0;
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------
//当然，这个比较函数（cmp）也可以直接用无名函数代替，如下代码所示：
int main()
{
    vector<int> ints = {5, 3, 90, 32, 24, 56, 98, 54, 76, 45, 89, 100};
    auto min_iterator = min_element(ints.begin(), ints.end(), [](int a, int b)
    {
        return a < b;
    }
    );
    cout << *min_iterator << endl;  //同样输出 3 
    return 0;
}
//----------------------------------------------------------------
//定义一个学生类
class Student
{
public:
    string name_;
    int age_;

    Student()
    {}

    Student(string name, int age):
    name_(name), age_(age)
    {}

};

int main()
{
    vector<Student> students;

    students.push_back(Student("zhangsan",23));
    students.push_back(Student("lisi",20));
    students.push_back(Student("wangwu",34));
    students.push_back(Student("zhaoliu",27));
    students.push_back(Student("jerry",19));

    string student_who_has_min_age = min_element(students.begin(), students.end(), [](const Student& s1, const Student& s2)
    {
        return s1.age_ < s2.age_;
    }
    )->name_;

    cout << student_who_has_min_age << endl;    //输出: jerry
    return 0;
}
