upper_bound (STL Samples)

Illustrates how to use the upper_bound STL function in Visual C++.

template<class ForwardIterator, class T> 
   inline ForwardIterator upper_bound(
      ForwardIterator First, 
      ForwardIterator Last, 
      const T& Value
)

Remarks

注意

The class/parameter names in the prototype do not match the version in the header file. Some have been modified to improve readability.

The upper_bound algorithm returns the last location in the sequence that value can be inserted such that the order of the sequence is maintained. upper_bound returns an iterator positioned at the location that value can be inserted in the range [First..Last), or returns last if no such position exists. upper_bound assumes the range [First ..Last) is sorted using operator<.

Example

// upper_bound_STL.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
// Illustrates how to use the upper_bound function.
//
// Functions:
//
//    upper_bound : Return the upper bound within a range.
