Explore the full potential of C++ by mastering the standard library.

Become a C++ Programmer

The C++ standard library is a collection of all the tools and utilities available in C++. It received its latest update in 2017, known as C++17. The update introduces many new features that further optimize our code. This module will help us fully grasp C++ and use it to its full potential.

C++ Standard Library

You can sort a range with `std::sort` or `std::stable_sort` or sort until a position with `std::partial_sort`. In addition `std::partial_sort_copy` copies the  partially sorted range. With `std::nth_element` you can assign an element the *sorted* position in the range. You can check with `std::is_sorted` if a range is sorted. If you want to know until which position a range is sorted, use `std::is_sorted_until`.

Per default the predefined function object `std::less` is used a as sorting criterion. However, you can use your sorting criterion. This has to obey the [strict weak ordering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_ordering).

Sorts the elements in the range:

Sorting and verifying the sortedness of your data has been made very easy in C++. Let's find out how.
