CGAL::min_max_element

Definition

#include <CGAL/algorithm.h>

template < class ForwardIterator >
std::pair< ForwardIterator, ForwardIterator >
	min_max_element ( ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last)
		returns a pair of iterators where the first component refers to the minimal and the second component refers to the maximal element in the range [first, last). The ordering is defined by operator< on the value type of ForwardIterator.
template < class ForwardIterator, class CompareMin, class CompareMax >
std::pair< ForwardIterator, ForwardIterator >
	min_max_element ( ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last, CompareMin comp_min, CompareMax comp_max)
		returns a pair of iterators where the first component refers to the minimal and the second component refers to the maximal element in the range [first, last). Requirement:  CompareMin and CompareMax are adaptable binary function objects: VT $$ ×  VT $$  bool where VT is the value type of ForwardIterator.
