C++17: Standard Library Algorithms: Changes and Additions
The C++14 Standard Library already contains a wealth of different kinds of algorithms. C++17 adds the following new algorithms and new options to existing algorithms:
- std::sample()
- std::for_each_n()
- Specialized searchers for std::search()
- Generalized sum algorithms:
- exclusive_scan()
- inclusive_scan()
- transform_exclusive_scan()
- transform_inclusive_scan()
- reduce()
- transform_reduce()
- Parallel algorithms
- gcd() / lcm()
I wrote an article for the Visual C++ Team Blog explaining what’s new and what has changed related to algorithms in the C++17 Standard Library in more details.
