Min_element () and max_element ()

Header file: # include <algorithm>

Header file category: min/MAX

Function: min_element () returns an iterator pointer pointing to the smallest element of [first, last) in a range; max_element () returns an iterator pointer, point to the smallest element in a range of [first, last. If more than one element meets this condition, the returned iterator points to the first element.

The min_element () function template has the following functions:

template <class ForwardIterator>  ForwardIterator min_element ( ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last ){  if (first==last) return last;  ForwardIterator smallest = first;  while (++first!=last)    if (*first<*smallest)    // or: if (comp(*first,*smallest)) for version (2)      smallest=first;  return smallest;}

The max_element () function template has the following functions:

template <class ForwardIterator>  ForwardIterator max_element ( ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last ){  if (first==last) return last;  ForwardIterator largest = first;  while (++first!=last)    if (*largest<*first)    // or: if (comp(*largest,*first)) for version (2)      largest=first;  return largest;}
