Chapter 16, Problem 46RQE

Explanation of Solution

Algorithm:

In C++, The STL provides many algorithms, which are implemented as function templates in the “<algorithm>” header file.

• These functions can perform many operations on a range of elements in the container.
• Some of the functions are “sort”, “for_each”, “binary_search” and so on.

Example:

Consider the below code which perform the STL “sort” algorithm to sort the string and integer values as follows:

//include the required header files

#include <iostream>

#include <algorithm>

#include<string>

using namespace std;

//define the array size

const int SZ = 5;

int main()

{

//define an integer array

    int intarry[SZ] = {5, 3, 32, -1, 1};

//define the string array

string strarry[SZ] = {"the","hi","allow",...
