std::ranges:: is_sorted

Checks if the elements in range [ first , last ) are sorted in non-descending order.

A sequence is sorted with respect to a comparator comp if for any iterator it pointing to the sequence and any non-negative integer n such that it + n is a valid iterator pointing to an element of the sequence, std:: invoke ( comp, std:: invoke ( proj, * ( it + n ) ) , std:: invoke ( proj, * it ) ) evaluates to false .

The function-like entities described on this page are algorithm function objects (informally known as niebloids ), that is:

• Explicit template argument lists cannot be specified when calling any of them.
• None of them are visible to argument-dependent lookup .
• When any of them are found by normal unqualified lookup as the name to the left of the function-call operator, argument-dependent lookup is inhibited.

Parameters

Return value

true if the elements in the range are sorted according to comp .

Complexity

Linear in the distance between first and last .

Possible implementation

struct is_sorted_fn
{
    template<std::forward_iterator I, std::sentinel_for<I> S,
             class Proj = std::identity,
             std::indirect_strict_weak_order<std::projected<I, Proj>>
                 Comp = ranges::less>
    constexpr bool operator()(I first, S last, Comp comp = {}, Proj proj = {}) const
    {
        return ranges::is_sorted_until(first, last, comp, proj) == last;
    }
 
    template<ranges::forward_range R, class Proj = std::identity,
             std::indirect_strict_weak_order<
                 std::projected<ranges::iterator_t<R>, Proj>>
                     Comp = ranges::less>
    constexpr bool operator()(R&& r, Comp comp = {}, Proj proj = {}) const
    {
        return (*this)(ranges::begin(r), ranges::end(r), std::ref(comp), std::ref(proj));
    }
};
 
inline constexpr is_sorted_fn is_sorted;

Notes

ranges::is_sorted returns true for empty ranges and ranges of length one.

Example

#include <algorithm>
#include <array>
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
 
int main()
{
    namespace ranges = std::ranges;
 
    std::array digits {3, 1, 4, 1, 5};
 
    ranges::copy(digits, std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " "));
    ranges::is_sorted(digits)
        ? std::cout << ": sorted\n"
        : std::cout << ": not sorted\n";
 
    ranges::sort(digits);
 
    ranges::copy(digits, std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " "));
    ranges::is_sorted(ranges::begin(digits), ranges::end(digits))
        ? std::cout << ": sorted\n"
        : std::cout << ": not sorted\n";
 
    ranges::reverse(digits);
 
    ranges::copy(digits, std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " "));
    ranges::is_sorted(digits, ranges::greater {})
        ? std::cout << ": sorted (with 'greater')\n"
        : std::cout << ": not sorted\n";
}

3 1 4 1 5 : not sorted
1 1 3 4 5 : sorted
5 4 3 1 1 : sorted (with 'greater')
