merge

Combines all of the elements from two sorted source ranges into a single, sorted destination range, where the ordering criterion may be specified by a binary predicate.

template<class InputIterator1, class InputIterator2, class OutputIterator>
   OutputIterator merge(
      InputIterator1 _First1, 
      InputIterator1 _Last1,
      InputIterator2 _First2, 
      InputIterator2 _Last2, 
      OutputIterator _Result
   );
template<class InputIterator1, class InputIterator2, class OutputIterator, class BinaryPredicate>
   OutputIterator merge(
      InputIterator1 _First1, 
      InputIterator1 _Last1,
      InputIterator2 _First2, 
      InputIterator2 _Last2, 
      OutputIterator _Result
      BinaryPredicate _Comp
   );

Parameters

  • _First1
    An input iterator addressing the position of the first element in the first of two sorted source ranges to be combined and sorted into a single range.

  • _Last1
    An input iterator addressing the position one past the last element in the first of two sorted source ranges to be combined and sorted into a single range.

  • _First2
    An input iterator addressing the position of the first element in second of two consecutive sorted source ranges to be combined and sorted into a single range.

  • _Last2
    An input iterator addressing the position one past the last element in second of two consecutive sorted source ranges to be combined and sorted into a single range.

  • _Result
    An output iterator addressing the position of the first element in the destination range where the two source ranges are to be combined into a single sorted range.

  • _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

An output iterator addressing the position one past the last element in the sorted destination range.

Remarks

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

The destination range should not overlap either of the source ranges and should be large enough to contain the destination range.

The sorted source ranges must each be arranged as a precondition to the application of the merge algorithm in accordance with the same ordering as is to be used by the algorithm to sort the combined ranges.

The operation is stable as the relative order of elements within each range is preserved in the destination range. The source ranges are not modified by the algorithm merge.

The value types of the input iterators need be less-than comparable to be ordered, so that, given two elements, it may be determined either that they are equivalent (in the sense that neither is less than the other) or that one is less than the other. This results in an ordering between the nonequivalent elements. When there are equivalent elements in both source ranges, the elements in the first range precede the elements from the second source range in the destination range.

The complexity of the algorithm is linear with at most (_Last1 – _First1) – (_Last2 – _First2) – 1 comparisons.

The list class provides a member function merge to merge the elements of two lists.

merge has two related forms:

checked_merge

unchecked_merge
