Algorithm (C++)


In the C++ Standard Library, algorithms are components that perform algorithmic operations on containers and other sequences.ISO/IEC. ISO/IEC 14882:2003: Programming Languages - C++ §25 Algorithms library para. 1
The C++ standard provides some standard algorithms collected in the standard header. A handful of algorithms are also in the header. All algorithms are in the namespace.

Categories of algorithms

The algorithms in the C++ Standard Library can be organized into the following categories.
