min_element
###############################################################################
Interface
========================================
.. sourcecode:: c++
template<typename ForwardIterator>
inline SPROUT_CONSTEXPR ForwardIterator
min_element(ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last);
template<typename ForwardIterator, typename Compare>
inline SPROUT_CONSTEXPR ForwardIterator
min_element(ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last, Compare comp);
Returns
========================================
| The first iterator i in the range [first,last) such that for any iterator j in the range [first,last) the following corresponding conditions hold: ``!(*j < *i)`` or ``!comp(*j, *i)``.
| Returns last if ``first == last``.
Examples
========================================
.. sourcecode:: c++
#include <sprout/algorithm/min_element.hpp>
#include <sprout/array.hpp>
#include <sprout/container.hpp>
using namespace sprout;
SPROUT_STATIC_CONSTEXPR auto input = array<int, 10>{{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}};
SPROUT_STATIC_CONSTEXPR auto result = sprout::min_element(begin(input), end(input));
static_assert(*result == 1, "a min element is 1.");
static_assert(result - begin(input) == 0, "a min element position is 0.");
Complexity
========================================
| Exactly ``max((last - first) - 1, 0)`` applications of the corresponding comparisons.
| Recursive function invocations in *O(logN)* (logarithmic) depth.
Header
========================================
| ``sprout/algorithm/min_element.hpp``
| Convenience header: ``sprout/algorithm.hpp``
