1.STL- Common Algorithms

Overview:

  • The algorithm is mainly composed of the header files<algorithm> <functional> <numeric>composition.

  • <algorithm>It is the largest of all STL header files, covering comparison, swapping, searching, traversal operations, copying, modification, and so on.

  • <numeric>It is very small and includes only a few template functions that perform simple mathematical operations on sequences.

  • <functional>It defines some template classes used to declare function objects.

1.1.常用范围限制算法

1.1.1.std::clamp(C++17)

Function description:

  • 把一个值限制在闭区间 [下限, 上限] 内,也叫“限幅”或“钳位”。
  • 小于下限时返回下限,大于上限时返回上限,在区间内时返回原值。
  • 属于标准库的 STL 算法,定义在 <algorithm> 中,C++17 起支持。

Function prototype:

template<class T>
constexpr const T& clamp(const T& v, const T& lo, const T& hi);

日常使用时写成 std::clamp(值, 下限, 上限) 即可。它返回限制后的结果,不会直接修改传入的变量;要更新原变量,需要接收返回值。

调用 返回值 原因
std::clamp(-5, 0, 10) 0 小于下限
std::clamp(0, 0, 10) 0 等于下限
std::clamp(6, 0, 10) 6 位于区间内
std::clamp(10, 0, 10) 10 等于上限
std::clamp(15, 0, 10) 10 大于上限

Example:

下面先观察不同输入的返回值,再把速度指令限制在 [-2.0, 2.0] 内。

#include <algorithm>
#include <initializer_list>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    for (int value : {-5, 0, 6, 10, 15})
    {
        int limited = std::clamp(value, 0, 10);
        std::cout << value << " -> " << limited << '\n';
    }

    double speed = 3.5;
    double limitedSpeed = std::clamp(speed, -2.0, 2.0);
    std::cout << "original speed: " << speed << '\n';
    std::cout << "limited speed: " << limitedSpeed << '\n';

    // 需要修改原变量时,把结果赋值回去。
    speed = std::clamp(speed, -2.0, 2.0);
    std::cout << "updated speed: " << speed << '\n';
    return 0;
}

Operation result:

-5 -> 0
0 -> 0
6 -> 6
10 -> 10
15 -> 10
original speed: 3.5
limited speed: 2
updated speed: 2

使用 GCC 或 Clang 时,编译示例需要启用 C++17 或更高标准,例如 g++ -std=c++17 main.cpp -o main。

常见错误:

  1. 上下限写反:默认比较方式要求 lo <= hi。例如 std::clamp(5, 10, 0) 不会自动交换上下限,这样写会产生未定义行为。
  2. 参数类型不一致:直接调用时,三个参数应使用相同类型。例如 double speed = 3.5; 应写 std::clamp(speed, -2.0, 2.0),写成 std::clamp(speed, -2, 2) 会导致模板类型推导失败。
  3. 用引用接收临时量:返回类型是 const T&,结果可能引用输入值或某个边界。如果边界是临时量,例如 const auto& result = std::clamp(15, 0, 10);,语句结束后引用会悬空。日常保存数值结果时,使用 auto result = std::clamp(15, 0, 10); 按值接收即可。
  4. 把它当作非法输入检查:限幅会直接把越界值变成边界值。如果业务要求拒绝非法输入,应先判断范围;浮点数还应按业务需要检查 NaN,不能指望 clamp 自动处理。

总结:std::clamp 适合速度、音量、亮度等有明确上下限的数值。它既属于 STL 算法,也属于 C++17 引入的现代 C++ 标准库工具。

1.2.Common traversal algorithms

Learning Objectives:

  • Master commonly used traversal algorithms

Algorithm Introduction:

  • for_each //Traverse the container
  • transform //Move the container to another container

1.2.1.for_each

Function description:

  • Implement container traversal

Function prototype:

  • for_each(iterator beg, iterator end, _func);

    // Traversal algorithm: traverse container elements

    // beg start iterator

    // end end iterator

    // _func function or function object

Example:

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

//普通函数
void print01(int val) 
{
	cout << val << " ";
}
//函数对象
class print02 
{
 public:
	void operator()(int val) 
	{
		cout << val << " ";
	}
};

//for_each算法基本用法
void test01() {

	vector<int> v;
	for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) 
	{
		v.push_back(i);
	}

	//遍历算法
	for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), print01);
	cout << endl;

	for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), print02());
	cout << endl;
}

int main() {

	test01();


	return 0;
}

Operation result:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

**Summary:** for_each is the most commonly used traversal algorithm in practical development and must be mastered proficiently.

1.2.2.transform

Function description:

  • Move the container into another container

Function prototype:

  • transform(iterator beg1, iterator end1, iterator beg2, _func);

//beg1 Source container begin iterator

//end1 Source container end iterator

//beg2 Iterator to the beginning of the target container

//_func Function or function object

Example:

#include <iostream>
#include<vector>
#include<algorithm>

using namespace std;

//常用遍历算法  搬运 transform

class TransForm
{
public:
	int operator()(int val)
	{
		return val;
	}

};

class MyPrint
{
public:
	void operator()(int val)
	{
		cout << val << " ";
	}
};

void test01()
{
	vector<int>v;
	for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
	{
		v.push_back(i);
	}

	vector<int>vTarget; //目标容器

	vTarget.resize(v.size()); // 目标容器需要提前开辟空间

	transform(v.begin(), v.end(), vTarget.begin(), TransForm());

	for_each(vTarget.begin(), vTarget.end(), MyPrint());
}

int main() {

	test01();


	return 0;
}

Operation result:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Summary: The target container for handling must have space allocated in advance; otherwise, handling cannot proceed normally.

1.3.Common Search Algorithms

Learning objectives:

  • Master commonly used search algorithms

Algorithm Introduction:

  • find //Find element
  • find_if //Find element by condition
  • adjacent_find //Find adjacent duplicate elements
  • binary_search //Binary search method
  • count //Count the number of elements
  • count_if //Count the number of elements by condition

1.3.1.find

Function description:

  • Find the specified element; if found, return an iterator to the specified element; if not found, return the end iterator end().

Function prototype:

  • find(iterator beg, iterator end, value);

    // Find an element by value; if found, return an iterator to the specified position; if not found, return the end iterator position

    // beg is the starting iterator

    // end is the ending iterator

    // value is the element to find

Example:

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

void test01() {

	vector<int> v;
	for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
		v.push_back(i + 1);
	}
	//查找容器中是否有 5 这个元素
	vector<int>::iterator it = find(v.begin(), v.end(), 5);
	if (it == v.end()) 
	{
		cout << "没有找到!" << endl;
	}
	else 
	{
		cout << "找到:" << *it << endl;
	}
}

class Person {
public:
	Person(string name, int age) 
	{
		this->m_Name = name;
		this->m_Age = age;
	}
	//重载==
	bool operator==(const Person& p) 
	{
		if (this->m_Name == p.m_Name && this->m_Age == p.m_Age) 
		{
			return true;
		}
		return false;
	}

public:
	string m_Name;
	int m_Age;
};

void test02() {

	vector<Person> v;

	//创建数据
	Person p1("aaa", 10);
	Person p2("bbb", 20);
	Person p3("ccc", 30);
	Person p4("ddd", 40);

	v.push_back(p1);
	v.push_back(p2);
	v.push_back(p3);
	v.push_back(p4);

	vector<Person>::iterator it = find(v.begin(), v.end(), p2);
	if (it == v.end()) 
	{
		cout << "没有找到!" << endl;
	}
	else 
	{
		cout << "找到姓名:" << it->m_Name << " 年龄: " << it->m_Age << endl;
	}
}

Run result: This code block does not contain the main function; it is a syntax, interface, or multi-file example and cannot be run independently, so there is no terminal output.

Summary: Use find to locate a specified element in a container; the return value is aniterator

1.3.2.find_if

Function description:

  • Find elements by condition

Function prototype:

  • find_if(iterator beg, iterator end, _Pred);

    // Find element by value; if found, return an iterator to the specified position; if not found, return the end iterator

    // beg: begin iterator

    // end: end iterator

    // _Pred: function or predicate (a functor that returns bool)

Example:

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

//内置数据类型
class GreaterFive
{
public:
	bool operator()(int val)
	{
		return val > 5;
	}
};

void test01() {

	vector<int> v;
	for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
		v.push_back(i + 1);
	}

	vector<int>::iterator it = find_if(v.begin(), v.end(), GreaterFive());
	if (it == v.end()) {
		cout << "没有找到!" << endl;
	}
	else {
		cout << "找到大于5的数字:" << *it << endl;
	}
}

//自定义数据类型
class Person {
public:
	Person(string name, int age)
	{
		this->m_Name = name;
		this->m_Age = age;
	}
public:
	string m_Name;
	int m_Age;
};

class Greater20
{
public:
	bool operator()(Person &p)
	{
		return p.m_Age > 20;
	}

};

void test02() {

	vector<Person> v;

	//创建数据
	Person p1("aaa", 10);
	Person p2("bbb", 20);
	Person p3("ccc", 30);
	Person p4("ddd", 40);

	v.push_back(p1);
	v.push_back(p2);
	v.push_back(p3);
	v.push_back(p4);

	vector<Person>::iterator it = find_if(v.begin(), v.end(), Greater20());
	if (it == v.end())
	{
		cout << "没有找到!" << endl;
	}
	else
	{
		cout << "找到姓名:" << it->m_Name << " 年龄: " << it->m_Age << endl;
	}
}

int main() {

	//test01();

	test02();


	return 0;
}

Operation result:

找到姓名:ccc 年龄: 30

Summary: find_if Conditional lookup makes searching more flexible, and the provided functors can change different strategies

1.3.3.adjacent_find

Function description:

  • Find adjacent duplicate elements

Function prototype:

  • adjacent_find(iterator beg, iterator end);

    // Find adjacent duplicate elements, returns an iterator to the first position of the adjacent elements

    // beg Start iterator

    // end End iterator

    ​

Example:

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

void test01()
{
	vector<int> v;
	v.push_back(1);
	v.push_back(2);
	v.push_back(5);
	v.push_back(2);
	v.push_back(4);
	v.push_back(4);
	v.push_back(3);

	//查找相邻重复元素
	vector<int>::iterator it = adjacent_find(v.begin(), v.end());
	if (it == v.end()) {
		cout << "找不到!" << endl;
	}
	else {
		cout << "找到相邻重复元素为:" << *it << endl;
	}
}

Run result: This code block does not contain the main function; it is a syntax, interface, or multi-file example and cannot be run independently, so there is no terminal output.

Summary: If a problem in an interview asks you to find adjacent duplicate elements, remember to use the adjacent_find algorithm in the STL.

Function description:

  • Check whether the specified element exists

Function prototype:

  • bool binary_search(iterator beg, iterator end, value);

    // Find the specified element, return true if found, otherwise false

    // Note: Not available inunordered sequences

    // beg Start iterator

    // end End iterator

    // value The element to find

Example:

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

void test01()
{
	vector<int>v;

	for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
	{
		v.push_back(i);
	}
	//二分查找
	bool ret = binary_search(v.begin(), v.end(),2);
	if (ret)
	{
		cout << "找到了" << endl;
	}
	else
	{
		cout << "未找到" << endl;
	}
}

int main() {

	test01();


	return 0;
}

Operation result:

找到了

**Summary:** The binary search method has very high search efficiency; it is worth noting that the elements in the container being searched must be in an ordered sequence.

1.3.5.count

Function description:

  • Count the number of elements

Function prototype:

  • count(iterator beg, iterator end, value);

    // Count the number of occurrences of an element

    // beg Start iterator

    // end End iterator

    // value The element to count

Example:

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

//内置数据类型
void test01()
{
	vector<int> v;
	v.push_back(1);
	v.push_back(2);
	v.push_back(4);
	v.push_back(5);
	v.push_back(3);
	v.push_back(4);
	v.push_back(4);

	int num = count(v.begin(), v.end(), 4);

	cout << "4的个数为: " << num << endl;
}

//自定义数据类型
class Person
{
public:
	Person(string name, int age)
	{
		this->m_Name = name;
		this->m_Age = age;
	}
	bool operator==(const Person & p)
	{
		if (this->m_Age == p.m_Age)
		{
			return true;
		}
		else
		{
			return false;
		}
	}
	string m_Name;
	int m_Age;
};

void test02()
{
	vector<Person> v;

	Person p1("刘备", 35);
	Person p2("关羽", 35);
	Person p3("张飞", 35);
	Person p4("赵云", 30);
	Person p5("曹操", 25);

	v.push_back(p1);
	v.push_back(p2);
	v.push_back(p3);
	v.push_back(p4);
	v.push_back(p5);
    
    Person p("诸葛亮",35);

	int num = count(v.begin(), v.end(), p);
	cout << "num = " << num << endl;
}
int main() {

	//test01();

	test02();


	return 0;
}

Operation result:

num = 3

Summary: When counting custom data types, it is necessary to overload operator==

1.3.6.count_if

Function description:

  • Count elements by condition

Function prototype:

  • count_if(iterator beg, iterator end, _Pred);

    // Count the number of occurrences of elements by condition

    // beg Start iterator

    // end End iterator

    // _Pred Predicate

    ​

Example:

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

class Greater4
{
public:
	bool operator()(int val)
	{
		return val >= 4;
	}
};

//内置数据类型
void test01()
{
	vector<int> v;
	v.push_back(1);
	v.push_back(2);
	v.push_back(4);
	v.push_back(5);
	v.push_back(3);
	v.push_back(4);
	v.push_back(4);

	int num = count_if(v.begin(), v.end(), Greater4());

	cout << "大于4的个数为: " << num << endl;
}

//自定义数据类型
class Person
{
public:
	Person(string name, int age)
	{
		this->m_Name = name;
		this->m_Age = age;
	}

	string m_Name;
	int m_Age;
};

class AgeLess35
{
public:
	bool operator()(const Person &p)
	{
		return p.m_Age < 35;
	}
};
void test02()
{
	vector<Person> v;

	Person p1("刘备", 35);
	Person p2("关羽", 35);
	Person p3("张飞", 35);
	Person p4("赵云", 30);
	Person p5("曹操", 25);

	v.push_back(p1);
	v.push_back(p2);
	v.push_back(p3);
	v.push_back(p4);
	v.push_back(p5);

	int num = count_if(v.begin(), v.end(), AgeLess35());
	cout << "小于35岁的个数:" << num << endl;
}

int main() {

	//test01();

	test02();


	return 0;
}

Operation result:

小于35岁的个数:2

**Summary:** Use count for statistics by value, and use count_if for statistics by condition.

	cout << endl;
}

int main() {

	test01();


	return 0;
}

Operation result:

	for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), myPrint());
	cout << endl;
}

int main() {

	test01();


	return 0;

**Summary:**random_shuffle The shuffle algorithm is quite practical; remember to add a random seed when using it.

1.4.3.merge

Function description:

  • Merge two container elements and store them in another container.

Function prototype:

  • merge(iterator beg1, iterator end1, iterator beg2, iterator end2, iterator dest);

    // Merge container elements and store them in another container

    // Note: The two containers must beordered

    // beg1 Iterator to the beginning of container 1 // end1 Iterator to the end of container 1 // beg2 Iterator to the beginning of container 2 // end2 Iterator to the end of container 2 // dest Iterator to the beginning of the destination container

    ​

Example:

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

class myPrint
{

	void operator()(int val)
	{
		cout << val << " ";
	}
};

void test01()
{
	vector<int> v1;
	vector<int> v2;
	for (int i = 0; i < 10 ; i++) 
    {
		v1.push_back(i);
		v2.push_back(i + 1);
	}

	vector<int> vtarget;
	//目标容器需要提前开辟空间
	vtarget.resize(v1.size() + v2.size());
	//合并  需要两个有序序列
	merge(v1.begin(), v1.end(), v2.begin(), v2.end(), vtarget.begin());
	for_each(vtarget.begin(), vtarget.end(), myPrint());
	cout << endl;
}

int main() {

	test01();


	return 0;
}

Operation result:

0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 10

**Summary:** The two containers merged by merge must be ordered sequences.

1.4.4.reverse

Function description:

  • Reverse the elements in the container

Function prototype:

  • reverse(iterator beg, iterator end);

    // Reverses the elements in the specified range

    // beg The beginning iterator

    // end The ending iterator

    ​

Example:

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

class myPrint
{
public:
	void operator()(int val)
	{
		cout << val << " ";
	}
};

void test01()
{
	vector<int> v;

	v.push_back(30);
	v.push_back(50);
	v.push_back(20);
	v.push_back(40);

	cout << "反转前: " << endl;
	for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), myPrint());
	cout << endl;

	cout << "反转后: " << endl;

	reverse(v.begin(), v.end());
	for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), myPrint());
	cout << endl;
}

int main() {
    // 程序从 main 函数开始执行,下面的语句会按顺序运行。

	test01();


	// 返回 0 表示程序正常结束。
	return 0;
}

Operation result:

反转前:
10 30 50 20 40
反转后:
40 20 50 30 10

**Summary:** `reverse` reverses the elements within the interval; this may be covered in interview questions.

1.5.Common copy and replace algorithms

Learning Objectives:

  • Master commonly used copy and replace algorithms

Algorithm Introduction:

  • copy // Copy the elements in the specified range within the container to another container
  • replace // Modify the old elements in the specified range within the container to new elements

    // Find an element by value; if found, return an iterator to the specified position; if not found, return the end iterator position

    // beg Start iterator

    // end End iterator

#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

class myPrint
{
public:
	void operator()(int val)
	{
		cout << val << " ";
	}

1.6.Common arithmetic generation algorithms

Learning Objectives:

  • Master commonly used arithmetic generation algorithms

Note:

  • Arithmetic generation algorithms belong to small algorithms; the header file to include when using them is #include <numeric>

Algorithm Introduction:

  • accumulate // Compute the cumulative sum of container elements

  • fill // Add elements to the container

    ​

1.6.1.accumulate

Function description:

  • Calculate the cumulative sum of container elements within the range

Function prototype:

  • accumulate(iterator beg, iterator end, value);

    // Calculate the cumulative sum of container elements

    // beg Start iterator

    // end End iterator

    // value Initial value

Example:

#include <iostream>
#include <numeric>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

void test01()
{
	vector<int> v;
	for (int i = 0; i <= 100; i++) {
		v.push_back(i);
	}

	int total = accumulate(v.begin(), v.end(), 0);

	cout << "total = " << total << endl;
}

int main() {
    // 程序从 main 函数开始执行,下面的语句会按顺序运行。

	test01();


	// 返回 0 表示程序正常结束。
	return 0;
}

Operation result:

total = 5050

**Summary:** When using accumulate, note that the header file is numeric. This algorithm is very practical.

1.6.2.fill

Function description:

  • Fill the container with the specified elements

Function prototype:

  • fill(iterator beg, iterator end, value);

    // Fill elements into the container

    // beg Begin iterator

    // end End iterator

    // value Value to fill

Example:

#include <iostream>
#include <numeric>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>

using namespace std;

class myPrint
{
public:
	void operator()(int val)
	{
		cout << val << " ";
	}
};

void test01()
{

	vector<int> v;
	v.resize(10);
	//填充
	fill(v.begin(), v.end(), 100);

	for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), myPrint());
	cout << endl;
}

int main() {

	test01();


	return 0;
}

Operation result:

100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100

Learning Objectives:

  • Master commonly used collection algorithms

Algorithm Introduction:

  • set_intersection // Find the intersection of two containers

  • set_union // Find the union of two containers

  • set_difference // Find the difference of two containers

    ​

1.7.1.set_intersection

Function description:

  • Find the intersection of two containers

Function prototype:

  • set_intersection(iterator beg1, iterator end1, iterator beg2, iterator end2, iterator dest);

    // Find the intersection of two sets

    // Note: Both sets must be ordered sequences

    // beg1 Iterator to the beginning of container 1 // end1 Iterator to the end of container 1 // beg2 Iterator to the beginning of container 2 // end2 Iterator to the end of container 2 // dest Iterator to the beginning of the destination container

Example:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>

using namespace std;

class myPrint
{
public:
	void operator()(int val)
	{
		cout << val << " ";
	}
};

void test01()
{
	vector<int> v1;
	vector<int> v2;
	for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
		v1.push_back(i);
		v2.push_back(i+5);
	}

	vector<int> vTarget;
	//取两个里面较小的值给目标容器开辟空间
	vTarget.resize(min(v1.size(), v2.size()));

	//返回目标容器的最后一个元素的迭代器地址
	vector<int>::iterator itEnd = 
        set_intersection(v1.begin(), v1.end(), v2.begin(), v2.end(), vTarget.begin());

	for_each(vTarget.begin(), itEnd, myPrint());
	cout << endl;
}

int main() {

	test01();


	return 0;
}

Operation result:

5 6 7 8 9

Summary:

  • The two sets whose intersection is to be computed must be ordered sequences
  • The space to be allocated for the target container needs to be taken fromthe smaller value of the two containers
  • set_intersection The return value is also the position of the last element in the intersection

    // beg1 Iterator to the beginning of container 1 // end1 Iterator to the end of container 1 // beg2 Iterator to the beginning of container 2 // end2 Iterator to the end of container 2 // dest Iterator to the beginning of the destination container

    ​

Example:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>

using namespace std;

class myPrint
{
public:
	void operator()(int val)
	{
		cout << val << " ";

	vTarget.resize(v1.size() + v2.size());

	//返回目标容器的最后一个元素的迭代器地址
	vector<int>::iterator itEnd = 
        set_union(v1.begin(), v1.end(), v2.begin(), v2.end(), vTarget.begin());

	for_each(vTarget.begin(), itEnd, myPrint());
	cout << endl;
}

int main() {

	test01();


	return 0;
}

Operation result:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

Summary:

  • 求并集的两个集合必须的有序序列
  • 目标容器开辟空间需要两个容器相加
  • set_union返回值既是并集中最后一个元素的位置

		v2.push_back(i+5);
	}

	vector<int> vTarget;
	//取两个里面较大的值给目标容器开辟空间
	vTarget.resize( max(v1.size() , v2.size()));

	//返回目标容器的最后一个元素的迭代器地址
	cout << "v1与v2的差集为: " << endl;
	vector<int>::iterator itEnd = 
        set_difference(v1.begin(), v1.end(), v2.begin(), v2.end(), vTarget.begin());
