NAME¶

std::ranges::is_sorted - std::ranges::is_sorted

Synopsis¶

Defined in header <algorithm>
Call signature
template< std::forward_iterator I, std::sentinel_for<I> S, class Proj =
std::identity,

std::indirect_strict_weak_order<std::projected<I, Proj>> Comp = (1) (since
ranges::less > C++20)

constexpr bool is_sorted( I first, S last, Comp comp = {}, Proj proj =
{} );
template< ranges::forward_range R, class Proj = std::identity,

std::indirect_strict_weak_order< (2) (since
std::projected<ranges::iterator_t<R>, Proj>> Comp = ranges::less > C++20)

constexpr bool is_sorted( R&& r, Comp comp = {}, Proj proj = {} );

Checks if the elements in range [first, last) are sorted in non-descending order.

A sequence is sorted with respect to a comparator comp if for any iterator it
pointing to the sequence and any non-negative integer n such that it + n is a valid
iterator pointing to an element of the sequence, std::invoke(comp, std::invoke(proj,
*(it + n)), std::invoke(proj, *it)) evaluates to false.

1) Elements are compared using the given binary comparison function comp.
2) Same as (1), but uses r as the source range, as if using ranges::begin(r) as
first and ranges::end(r) as last.

The function-like entities described on this page are niebloids, that is:

* Explicit template argument lists may not be specified when calling any of them.
* None of them is visible to argument-dependent lookup.
* When one of them is found by normal unqualified lookup for the name to the left
of the function-call operator, it inhibits argument-dependent lookup.

In practice, they may be implemented as function objects, or with special compiler
extensions.

Parameters¶

first, last - iterator-sentinel defining the range to check if it is sorted
r - the range to check if it is sorted
comp - comparison function to apply to the projected elements
proj - projection to apply to the elements

Return value¶

true if the elements in the range are sorted according to comp.

Complexity¶

Linear in the distance between first and last.

Possible implementation¶

struct is_sorted_fn {
template<std::forward_iterator I, std::sentinel_for<I> S, class Proj = std::identity,
std::indirect_strict_weak_order<std::projected<I, Proj>> Comp = ranges::less>
constexpr bool operator()(I first, S last, Comp comp = {}, Proj proj = {}) const
{
return ranges::is_sorted_until(first, last, comp, proj) == last;
}

template<ranges::forward_range R, class Proj = std::identity,
std::indirect_strict_weak_order<
std::projected<ranges::iterator_t<R>, Proj>> Comp = ranges::less>
constexpr bool operator()(R&& r, Comp comp = {}, Proj proj = {}) const
{
return (*this)(ranges::begin(r), ranges::end(r),
std::ref(comp), std::ref(proj));
}
};

inline constexpr is_sorted_fn is_sorted;

Notes¶

ranges::is_sorted returns true for empty ranges and ranges of length one.

Example¶

// Run this code

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>

int main()
{
namespace ranges = std::ranges;

std::array digits {3, 1, 4, 1, 5};

ranges::copy(digits, std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " "));
std::cout << ": is_sorted: " << std::boolalpha
<< ranges::is_sorted(digits) << '\n';

ranges::sort(digits);

ranges::copy(digits, std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " "));
std::cout << ": is_sorted: "
<< ranges::is_sorted(ranges::begin(digits),
ranges::end(digits)) << '\n';
}

Output:¶

3 1 4 1 5 : is_sorted: false
1 1 3 4 5 : is_sorted: true
