Function std.algorithm.searching.maxElement

Iterates the passed range and returns the maximal element. A custom mapping function can be passed to map. In other languages this is sometimes called argmax.

auto auto maxElement(alias map, Range) (
  Range r
)
if (isInputRange!Range && !isInfinite!Range);

auto auto maxElement(alias map, Range, RangeElementType) (
  Range r,
  RangeElementType seed
)
if (isInputRange!Range && !isInfinite!Range && !is(CommonType!(ElementType!Range, RangeElementType) == void));

Complexity

Exactly n - 1 comparisons are needed.

Parameters

NameDescription
map custom accessor for the comparison key
r range from which the maximum will be selected
seed custom seed to use as initial element

Returns

The maximal element of the passed-in range.

Example

import std.range : enumerate;
import std.typecons : tuple;
writeln([2, 1, 4, 3].maxElement); // 4

// allows to get the index of an element too
writeln([2, 1, 4, 3].enumerate.maxElement!"a.value"); // tuple(2, 4)

// any custom accessor can be passed
writeln([[0, 4], [1, 2]].maxElement!"a[1]"); // [0, 4]

// can be seeded
int[] arr;
writeln(arr.minElement(1)); // 1
