inplace_merge (STL Samples)

Illustrates how to use the inplace_merge Standard Template Library (STL) function in Visual C++.

template<class BidirectionalIterator>
   inline void inplace_merge(
      BidirectionalIterator First,
      BidirectionalIterator Middle,
      BidirectionalIterator Last
   )

Remarks

참고

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

The inplace_merge algorithm merges two sorted subsequences: [First..Middle) and [Middle..Last) in place into a single sorted sequence [First..Last). This version assumes that the ranges [First..Middle) and [Middle..Last) are sorted using operator<. If both ranges contain equal values, the value from the first range will be stored first.

Example

// inplace_merge.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
//
// Functions:
//   inplace_merge : Merge two sorted sub-sequences in place into a
//                   single sorted list.
//
//   begin - Returns an iterator that points to the first element in a
//           sequence.
//
//   end - Returns an iterator that points one past the end of a sequence.

    inplace_merge(start, start + 3, end) ;

    cout << "After calling inplace_merge\n" << endl ;

    // print content of Numbers
    cout << "Numbers { " ;
    for(it = start; it != end; it++)
        cout << *it << " " ;
    cout << " }\n" << endl ;
}

Output

Before calling inplace_merge

Numbers { 4 10 70 10 30 69 96 100  }

After calling inplace_merge

Numbers { 4 10 10 30 69 70 96 100  }
