Mastering Algorithms with std::vector

In this chapter, we will explore the interaction of std::vector with C++ Standard Template Library (STL) algorithms to unlock the potential of the C++ STL. This chapter delineates the process of efficiently sorting, searching, and manipulating vectors, leveraging the algorithms provided in the header. Moreover, focusing on lambda expressions, custom comparators, and predicates establishes a clear path to customizable, concise, and efficient vector operations.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Sorting a vector
  • Searching elements
  • Manipulating vectors
  • Custom comparators and predicates
  • Understanding container invariants and iterator invalidation
