Template Function thrust::minmax_element(ForwardIterator, ForwardIterator)

Function Documentation

template<typename ForwardIterator>
thrust::pair<ForwardIterator, ForwardIterator> thrust::minmax_element(ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last)

minmax_element finds the smallest and largest elements in the range [first, last). It returns a pair of iterators (imin, imax) where imin is the same iterator returned by min_element and imax is the same iterator returned by max_element. This function is potentially more efficient than separate calls to min_element and max_element.

#include <thrust/extrema.h>
...
int data[6] = {1, 0, 2, 2, 1, 3};
thrust::pair<int *, int *> result = thrust::minmax_element(data, data + 6);

// result.first is data + 1
// result.second is data + 5
// *result.first is 0
// *result.second is 3
Return

A pair of iterator pointing to the smallest and largest elements of the range [first, last), if it is not an empty range; last, otherwise.

Parameters

  • first: The beginning of the sequence.

  • last: The end of the sequence.
