partition

Synopsis

template<
      typename Seq
    , typename Pred
    , typename In1 = unspecified
    , typename In2 = unspecified
    >
struct partition
{
    typedef unspecified type;
};

Description

Returns a pair of sequences together containing all elements in the range [begin<Seq>::type, end<Seq>::type) split into two groups based on the predicate Pred. partition is a synonym for stable_partition.

[Note: This wording applies to a no-inserter version(s) of the algorithm. See the Expression semantics subsection for a precise specification of the algorithm's details in all cases — end note]

Header

#include <boost/mpl/partition.hpp>

Model of

Reversible Algorithm

Parameters

Parameter Requirement Description
Seq Forward Sequence An original sequence.
Pred Unary Lambda Expression A partitioning predicate.
In1, In2 Inserter Output inserters.

Expression semantics

The semantics of an expression are defined only where they differ from, or are not defined in Reversible Algorithm.

For any Forward Sequence s, an unary Lambda Expression pred, and Inserters in1 and in2:

typedef partition<s,pred,in1,in2>::type r;
Return type:

A pair.

Semantics:

Equivalent to

typedef stable_partition<s,pred,in1,in2>::type r;

Complexity

Linear. Exactly size<s>::value applications of pred, and size<s>::value of summarized in1::operation / in2::operation applications.

Example

template< typename N > struct is_odd : bool_<(N::value % 2)> {};

typedef partition<
      range_c<int,0,10>
    , is_odd<_1>
    , back_inserter< vector<> >
    , back_inserter< vector<> >
    >::type r;

BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( equal< r::first, vector_c<int,1,3,5,7,9> > ));
BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( equal< r::second, vector_c<int,0,2,4,6,8> > ));
