max_element

Artikel

Finds the first occurrence of largest element in a specified range where the ordering criterion may be specified by a binary predicate.

template<class ForwardIterator> 
   ForwardIterator max_element( 
      ForwardIterator _First,  
      ForwardIterator _Last 
   ); 
template<class ForwardIterator, class BinaryPredicate> 
   ForwardIterator max_element( 
      ForwardIterator _First,  
      ForwardIterator _Last,  
      BinaryPredicate _Comp 
   );

Parameters

_First
A forward iterator addressing the position of the first element in the range to be searched for the largest element.
_Last
A forward iterator addressing the position one past the final element in the range to be searched for the largest element.
_Comp
User-defined predicate function object that defines the sense in which one element is greater than another. The binary predicate takes two arguments and should return true when the first element is less than the second element and false otherwise.

Return Value

A forward iterator addressing the position of the first occurrence of the largest element in the range searched.

Remarks

The range referenced must be valid; all pointers must be dereferenceable and within each sequence the last position is reachable from the first by incrementation.

The complexity is linear: (_Last – _First) – 1 comparisons are required for a nonempty range.

   cout << "The largest element in v1 under the mod_lesser"

}

Output

s1 = ( CInt( -3 ), CInt( 1 ), CInt( 2 ) ).
The largest element in s1 is: CInt( 2 )

Vector v1 is ( 0 1 2 3 -2 -4 -6 -8 ).
The largest element in v1 is: 3
The largest element in v1 under the mod_lesser
 binary predicate is: -8
