C++ Standard Library Algorithms Tutorial 📚

Welcome to the C++ Standard Library Algorithms tutorial! 🚀 These algorithms are powerful tools that simplify common programming tasks by providing ready-to-use functions for data manipulation. Let's dive into some key categories and examples.

🧩 Common Algorithm Categories

• Sorting & Searching: sort(), binary_search(), find()
• Modifying Elements: transform(), replace(), fill()
• Numerical Operations: accumulate(), inner_product()
• Iterators & Ranges: copy(), reverse(), rotate()

🔧 Example: Sorting a Vector

#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>

int main() {
    std::vector<int> numbers = {5, 2, 9, 1, 5, 6};
    std::sort(numbers.begin(), numbers.end());
    std::cout << "Sorted numbers: ";
    for (int num : numbers) std::cout << num << " ";
    return 0;
}

📌 Useful Resources

• Explore algorithm examples to see how these functions work in practice
• Learn about iterators to fully utilize algorithm capabilities

📌 Key Tips

1. Use <algorithm> header for all standard algorithms
2. Combine with STL containers like vector or array for efficient operations
3. Always check the C++ reference for detailed documentation
