Function std.algorithm.searching.minCount
Computes the minimum (respectively maximum) of range along with its number of
occurrences. Formally, the minimum is a value x in range such that pred(a, x) is false for all values a in range. Conversely, the maximum is
a value x in range such that pred(x, a) is false for all values a
in range (note the swapped arguments to pred).
Tuple!(ElementType!Range,size_t) minCount(alias pred, Range)
(
Range range
)
if (isInputRange!Range && !isInfinite!Range && is(typeof(binaryFun!pred(range .front, range .front))));
These functions may be used for computing arbitrary extrema by choosing pred
appropriately. For corrrect functioning, pred must be a strict partial order,
i.e. transitive (if pred(a, b) && pred(b, c) then pred(a, c)) and
irreflexive (pred(a, a) is false). The trichotomy property of
inequality is not required: these algorithms consider elements a and b equal
(for the purpose of counting) if pred puts them in the same equivalence class,
i.e. !pred(a, b) && !pred(b, a).
Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| pred | The ordering predicate to use to determine the extremum (minimum or maximum). |
| range | The input range to count. |
Returns
The minimum, respectively maximum element of a range together with the number it occurs in the range.
Limitations
If at least one of the arguments is NaN, the result is
an unspecified value. See maxElement
for examples on how to cope with NaNs.
Throws
Exception if range.

import std .conv : text;
import std .typecons : tuple;
int[] a = [ 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 4, 1, 1, 2 ];
// Minimum is 1 and occurs 3 times
writeln(a .minCount); // tuple(1, 3)
// Maximum is 4 and occurs 2 times
writeln(a .maxCount); // tuple(4, 2)
