upper_bound

Interface

template<typename ForwardIterator, typename T>
inline SPROUT_CONSTEXPR ForwardIterator
upper_bound(ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last, T const& value);

template<typename ForwardIterator, typename T, typename Compare>
inline SPROUT_CONSTEXPR ForwardIterator
upper_bound(ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last, T const& value, Compare comp);

Requires

The elements e of [first,last) shall be partitioned with respect to the expression !(value < e) or !comp(value, e).

Returns

The furthermost iterator i in the range [first,last] such that for any iterator j in the range [first,i) the following corresponding conditions hold: !(value < *j) or !comp(value, *j).

Examples

#include <sprout/algorithm/upper_bound.hpp>
#include <sprout/array.hpp>
#include <sprout/container.hpp>
using namespace sprout;

SPROUT_STATIC_CONSTEXPR auto input = array<int, 10>{{1, 2, 3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 8, 9, 10}};
SPROUT_STATIC_CONSTEXPR auto result = sprout::upper_bound(begin(input), end(input), 5);
static_assert(result - begin(input) == 7, "a upper bound position is 7.");

Complexity

At most log2(last - first) + O(1) comparisons.

Recursive function invocations in O(logN) (logarithmic) depth.
