first, last | - | the pair of iterators defining therange of elements to examine |
policy | - | theexecution policy to use |
comp | - | comparison function object (i.e. an object that satisfies the requirements ofCompare) which returnstrue if the first argument isless than the second. The signature of the comparison function should be equivalent to the following: bool cmp(const Type1& a,const Type2& b); While the signature does not need to haveconst&, the function must not modify the objects passed to it and must be able to accept all values of type (possibly const) |

-ForwardIt must meet the requirements ofLegacyForwardIterator. |
Iterator to the smallest element in the range[
first,
last)
. If several elements in the range are equivalent to the smallest element, returns the iterator to the first such element. Returnslast if the range is empty.
Given\(\scriptsize N\)N asstd::distance(first, last):
The overloads with a template parameter namedExecutionPolicy
report errors as follows:
ExecutionPolicy
is one of thestandard policies,std::terminate is called. For any otherExecutionPolicy
, the behavior is implementation-defined.min_element (1) |

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.
DR | Applied to | Behavior as published | Correct behavior |
---|---|---|---|
LWG 212 | C++98 | the return value was not specified if[ first, last) is empty | returnslast in this case |
LWG 2150 | C++98 | the iterator to the first non-greatest element was returned | corrected the return value |
returns the largest element in a range (function template)[edit] | |
(C++11) | returns the smallest and the largest elements in a range (function template)[edit] |
returns the smaller of the given values (function template)[edit] | |
(C++20) | returns the smallest element in a range (algorithm function object)[edit] |
