Overview

In this chapter and in

Chapter 14

we will examine and illustrate each of the generic algorithms

provided by the standard library. The names and a short description of each of the algorithms in
this chapter are given in the following table. We have divided the algorithms into several
categories, based on how they are typically used. This division differs from the categories used
in the C++ standard definition, which is based upon which algorithms modify their arguments
and which do not.

Name

Purpose

algorithms used to initialize a sequence

Chapter 13 (

Initialization Algorithms

)

fill

fill a sequence with an initial value

fill_n

fill n positions with an initial value

copy

copy sequence into another sequence

copy_backward

copy sequence into another sequence

generate

initialize a sequence using a generator

generate_n

initialize n positions using a generator

swap_ranges

swap values from two parallel sequences

searching algorithms

Chapter 13 (

Searching Algorithms

)

find

find an element matching the argument

find_if

find an element satisfying a condition

adjacent_find

find consecutive duplicate elements

search

match a subsequence within a sequence

max_element

find the maximum value in a sequence

min_element
