std::ranges::lower_bound() algorithm

// (1)
constexpr I
lower_bound( I first, S last, const T& value, Comp comp = {}, Proj proj = {} );

// (2)
constexpr ranges::borrowed_iterator_t<R>
lower_bound( R&& r, const T& value, Comp comp = {}, Proj proj = {} );

The type of arguments are generic and have the following constraints:

  • I - std::forward_iterator

  • S - std::sentinel_for<I>

  • R - std::ranges::forward_range

  • Comp:

    • (1) - indirect_strict_weak_order< const T*, projected<I, Proj>>
    • (2) - indirect_strict_weak_order< const T*, projected<ranges::iterator_t<R>, Proj>>

    (The std:: namespace was ommitted here for readability)

  • T - (none)

  • Proj - (none)

The Proj and Comp template arguments have the following default types: std::identity, ranges::less for all overloads.

  • (1) Returns an iterator pointing to the first element in the range [first; last) that is not less than (i.e. greater or equal to) value, or last if no such element is found.

    The range [first; last) must be partitioned with respect to the expression comp(element, value), i.e., all elements for which the expression is true must precede all elements for which the expression is false.

    A fully-sorted range meets this criterion.

  • (2) Same as (1), but uses r as the source range, as if using ranges::begin(r) as first and ranges::end(r) as last.

The function-like entities described on this page are niebloids.

Parameters

first
last

The partially-ordered range of elements to examine.

r

The partially-ordered range of elements to examine.

value

The value to compare the elements to.

comp

Comparison predicate to apply to the projected elements.

proj

Projection to apply to the elements.

Return value

Iterator pointing to the first element that is not less than value, or last if no such element is found.

Complexity

At most log2(last - first) + O(1) comparisons and applications of the projection.

However, for an iterator that does not model random_access_iterator, the number of iterator increments is linear.

Exceptions

(none)
