constexpr ForwardIt lower_bound( ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last,
Searches for the first element in the partitioned range [
first,
last)
which is not ordered before value.
The order is determined by
operator<:
Returns the first iterator iter in [
first,
last)
where bool(*iter < value) is false, or last if no such iter exists.
If the elements elem of [
first,
last)
are not partitioned with respect to the expression bool(elem < value), the behavior is undefined.
Equivalent to std::lower_bound(first, last, value, std::less{}).
(since C++20)2) The order is determined by comp:
Returns the first iterator iter in [
first,
last)
where bool(comp(*iter, value)) is false, or last if no such iter exists.
If the elements
elemof
[
first,
last)
are not
partitionedwith respect to the expression
bool(comp(elem, value)), the behavior is undefined.
[edit] Parameters first, last - the pair of iterators defining the partitioned range of elements to examine value - value to compare the elements to comp - binary predicate which returns âtrue if the first argument is ordered before the second.The signature of the predicate function should be equivalent to the following:
bool pred(const Type1 &a, const Type2 &b);
While the signature does not need to have const &, the function must not modify the objects passed to it and must be able to accept all values of type (possibly const) Type1
and Type2
regardless of value category (thus, Type1 & is not allowed, nor is Type1 unless for Type1
a move is equivalent to a copy(since C++11)).
The type Type1 must be such that an object of type ForwardIt can be dereferenced and then implicitly converted to Type1. The type Type2 must be such that an object of type T can be implicitly converted to Type2. â
ForwardIt
must meet the requirements of LegacyForwardIterator. -Compare
must meet the requirements of BinaryPredicate. It is not required to satisfy Compare. [edit] Return value
Iterator to the first element of the range [
first,
last)
not ordered before value, or last if no such element is found.
Given \(\scriptsize N\)N as std::distance(first, last):
1)At most
\(\scriptsize \log_{2}(N)+O(1)\)log2(N)+O(1)comparisons with
valueusing
operator<(until C++20)std::less{}(since C++20).
2) At most \(\scriptsize \log_{2}(N)+O(1)\)log2(N)+O(1) applications of the comparator comp.
However, if ForwardIt
is not a LegacyRandomAccessIterator, the number of iterator increments is linear in \(\scriptsize N\)N. Notably, std::map, std::multimap, std::set, and std::multiset iterators are not random access, and so their member lower_bound
functions should be preferred.
See also the implementations in libstdc++ and libc++.

Although std::lower_bound
only requires [
first,
last)
to be partitioned, this algorithm is usually used in the case where [
first,
last)
is sorted, so that the binary search is valid for any value.
Unlike std::binary_search, std::lower_bound
does not require operator< or comp to be asymmetric (i.e., a < b and b < a always have different results). In fact, it does not even require value < *iter or comp(value, *iter) to be well-formed for any iterator iter in [
first,
last)
.
