16.6 Standard Library Algorithm Summary

The C++ standard specifies over 90 algorithms—many overloaded with two or more versions. The standard separates the algorithms into several categories—mutating sequence algorithms, nonmodifying sequence algorithms, sorting and related algorithms and generalized numeric operations. To learn about algorithms we did not present in this chapter, see your compiler’s documentation or visit sites such as

Mutating Sequence Algorithms

Figure 16.16 shows many of the mutating-sequence algorithms—i.e., algorithms that modify the containers they operate on. Algorithms added in C++11 are marked with an * in Figs. 16.16–16.19 ...
