Function template float_sort

boost::sort::spreadsort::float_sort — float_sort with casting to the appropriate size.

Synopsis

// In header: <boost/sort/spreadsort/float_sort.hpp>


template<typename RandomAccessIter> 
  void float_sort(RandomAccessIter first, RandomAccessIter last);

Description

Some performance plots of runtime vs. n and log(range) are provided:
windows_float_sort
osx_float_sort

A simple example of sorting some floating-point is: 

     vector<float> vec;
     vec.push_back(1.0);
     vec.push_back(2.3);
     vec.push_back(1.3);
     spreadsort(vec.begin(), vec.end());

The sorted vector contains ascending values "1.0 1.3 2.3". 

Parameters:

first

Iterator pointer to first element.

last

Iterator pointing to one beyond the end of data.
