Functions

template<typename FwdIter, typename F>
FwdIter min_element(FwdIter first, FwdIter last, F &&f)#

Finds the smallest element in the range [first, last) using the given comparison function f.

The comparisons in the parallel min_element algorithm execute in sequential order in the calling thread.

Note

Complexity: Exactly max(N-1, 0) comparisons, where N = std::distance(first, last).

Template Parameters
  • FwdIter – The type of the source iterators used (deduced). This iterator type must meet the requirements of a forward iterator.

  • F – The type of the function/function object to use (deduced).

Parameters
  • first – Refers to the beginning of the sequence of elements the algorithm will be applied to.

  • last – Refers to the end of the sequence of elements the algorithm will be applied to.

  • f – The binary predicate which returns true if the the left argument is less than the right element. The signature of the predicate function should be equivalent to the following:

    bool pred(const Type1 &a, const Type1 &b);
    
    The signature does not need to have const &, but the function must not modify the objects passed to it. The type Type1 must be such that objects of type FwdIter can be dereferenced and then implicitly converted to Type1.

Returns

The min_element algorithm returns FwdIter. The min_element algorithm returns the iterator to the smallest element in the range [first, last). If several elements in the range are equivalent to the smallest element, returns the iterator to the first such element. Returns last if the range is empty.

The comparisons in the parallel min_element algorithm invoked with an execution policy object of type sequenced_policy execute in sequential order in the calling thread.

The comparisons in the parallel min_element algorithm invoked with an execution policy object of type parallel_policy or parallel_task_policy are permitted to execute in an unordered fashion in unspecified threads, and indeterminately sequenced within each thread.
