max_element()与min_element()都定义于头文件 <algorithm>,分别实现了返回区间 [first,last)中第一个最大值和第一个最小值对应的迭代器。
Example
// 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;
}
output:
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
