What are the basics of C++ standard algorithms?

Can you explain the basics of C++ standard algorithms?

Sure! C++ standard algorithms are a set of functions defined in the <algorithm> header that operate on ranges of elements. They include operations like sorting, searching, and manipulating data.

What are some common algorithms I should know?

Some common algorithms include sort, find, copy, and accumulate. Each serves a specific purpose in data manipulation.

How do I use the sort algorithm?

To use the sort algorithm, include the <algorithm> header and call std::sort with the beginning and ending iterators of the range you want to sort.

Can you give me a code example?

Certainly! Here's a simple example:

#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>

int main() {
    std::vector<int> vec = {5, 2, 9, 1, 5, 6};
    std::sort(vec.begin(), vec.end());
    // vec is now sorted
}
