Introduction to algorithm

The algorithm library provides several functions that can be used for a variety of purposes, for instance searching, sorting, counting, manipulating and so on. These functions operate on ranges of elements and the range is defined as [first, last).

Functions from <algorithm>

Below is list of all methods from <algorithm> header.

Member functions

Sr.No. Method & Description
