The standard library includes a suite of functions, which the library calls algorithms, to simplify many programming tasks that involve repeated application of operations over data ranges. The data can be a container of objects, a portion of a container, values read from an input stream, or any other sequence of objects that you can express with iterators. I’ve introduced a few algorithms when appropriate. This Exploration takes a closer look at a number of the most useful algorithms.

All of the algorithms in this Exploration are defined in the <algorithm> module.
