Min and Max

You can determine the minimum, the maximum and the minimum and maximum pair of a range with the algorithms std::min_element, std::max_element and std::minmax_element. Each algorithm can be configured with a binary predicate.

Returns the minimum element of the range:

constexpr FwdIt min_element(FwdIt first, FwdIt last)
FwdIt min_element(ExePol pol, FwdIt first, FwdIt last)

constexpr FwdIt min_element(FwdIt first, FwdIt last, BinPre pre)
FwdIt min_element(ExePol pol, FwdIt first, FwdIt last, BinPre pre)

Returns the maximum element of the range:

constexpr FwdIt max_element(FwdIt first, FwdIt last)
FwdIt max_element(ExePol pol, FwdIt first, FwdIt last)

constexpr FwdIt max_element(FwdIt first, FwdIt last, BinPre pre)
FwdIt max_element(ExePol pol, FwdIt first, FwdIt last, BinPre pre)

Returns the pair std::min_element and std::max_element of the range:

constexpr pair<FwdIt, FwdIt> minmax_element(FwdIt first, FwdIt last)
pair<FwdIt, FwdIt> minmax_element...

Beginning C++ Programming

Beginning C++ Programming

C++ has come a long way and is now adopted in several contexts. Its key strengths are its software infrastructure and resource-constrained applications, including desktop applications, servers, and performance-critical applications, not to forget its importance in game programming. Despite its strengths in these areas, beginners usually tend to shy away from learning the language because of its steep learning curve. The main mission of this book is to make you familiar and comfortable with C++. You will finish the book not only being able to write your own code, but more importantly, you will be able to read other projects. It is only by being able to read others' code that you will progress from a beginner to an advanced programmer. This book is the first step in that progression.
