What are some advanced features of C++17's standard algorithms?

C++17 introduced several enhancements to the standard algorithms, including parallel algorithms, which allow for concurrent execution.

Can you explain how to use parallel algorithms?

Sure! You can use the std::for_each algorithm with the execution policy to run operations in parallel. For example: std::for_each(std::execution::par, begin, end, func);.

What are execution policies?

Execution policies define how algorithms execute. The main ones are std::execution::seq for sequential execution and std::execution::par for parallel execution.

Are there any performance considerations with parallel algorithms?

Yes, while parallel algorithms can improve performance, they also introduce overhead. It's important to assess if the data size justifies parallelization.
