sort() C++ code example

Example 1: stl sort in c++

sort(arr, arr+n); // sorts in ascending order

Example 2: sort c++

sort(arr, arr+length); //increase
sort(arr, arr+length, greater<int>()); //decrease

Example 3: sort c++

#include <algorithm>    // std::sort

int myints[] = {32,71,12,45,26,80,53,33};
// using default comparison (operator <):
std::sort (myvector.begin(), myvector.begin()+4);           //(12 32 45 71)26 80 53 33

// fun returns some form of a<b
std::sort (myvector.begin()+4, myvector.end(), myfunction); // 12 32 45 71(26 33 53 80)

Example 4: c++ sort

int arr[]= {2,3,5,6,1,2,3,6,10,100,200,0,-10};
    int n = sizeof(arr)/sizeof(int);  
    sort(arr,arr+n);

    for(int i: arr)
    {
        cout << i << " ";
    }

Example 5: array sort c++

#include <iostream>
2 #include <array>
3 #include <string>
4 #include <algorithm>
5
6 using namespace std;
7
8 int main(){
9 array<string, 4> colours = {"blue", "black", "red", "green"};
10 for (string colour : colours){
11 cout << colour << ' ';
12 }
13 cout << endl;
14 sort(colours.begin(), colours.end());
15 for (string colour : colours){
16 cout << colour << ' ';
17 }
18 return 0;
19 }
66

21 /*
22 Output:
23 blue black red green
24 black blue green red
25 */

Example 6: sort c++

// sort algorithm example
#include <iostream>     // std::cout
#include <algorithm>    // std::sort
#include <vector>       // std::vector

bool myfunction (int i,int j) { return (i<j); }

struct myclass {
  bool operator() (int i,int j) { return (i<j);}
} myobject;

int main () {
  int myints[] = {32,71,12,45,26,80,53,33};
  std::vector<int> myvector (myints, myints+8);               // 32 71 12 45 26 80 53 33

  // using default comparison (operator <):
  std::sort (myvector.begin(), myvector.begin()+4);           //(12 32 45 71)26 80 53 33

  // using function as comp
  std::sort (myvector.begin()+4, myvector.end(), myfunction); // 12 32 45 71(26 33 53 80)

  // using object as comp
  std::sort (myvector.begin(), myvector.end(), myobject);     //(12 26 32 33 45 53 71 80)

  // print out content:
  std::cout << "myvector contains:";
  for (std::vector<int>::iterator it=myvector.begin(); it!=myvector.end(); ++it)
    std::cout << ' ' << *it;
  std::cout << '\n';

  return 0;
