Template Function thrust::binary_search(ForwardIterator, ForwardIterator, const LessThanComparable&)

Function Documentation

template<class ForwardIterator, class LessThanComparable>
bool thrust::binary_search(ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last, const LessThanComparable &value)

binary_search is a version of binary search: it attempts to find the element value in an ordered range [first, last). It returns true if an element that is equivalent to value is present in [first, last) and false if no such element exists. Specifically, this version returns true if and only if there exists an iterator i in [first, last) such that *i < value and value < *i are both false.

The following code snippet demonstrates how to use

binary_search to search for values in a ordered range.
Return

true if an equivalent element exists in [first, last), otherwise false.

Parameters

  • first: The beginning of the ordered sequence.

  • last: The end of the ordered sequence.

  • value: The value to be searched.

Template Parameters

#include <thrust/binary_search.h>
#include <thrust/device_vector.h>
...
thrust::device_vector<int> input(5);

input[0] = 0;
input[1] = 2;
input[2] = 5;
input[3] = 7;
input[4] = 8;

thrust::binary_search(input.begin(), input.end(), 0); // returns true
thrust::binary_search(input.begin(), input.end(), 1); // returns false
thrust::binary_search(input.begin(), input.end(), 2); // returns true
thrust::binary_search(input.begin(), input.end(), 3); // returns false
thrust::binary_search(input.begin(), input.end(), 8); // returns true
thrust::binary_search(input.begin(), input.end(), 9); // returns false
