Function std.algorithm.searching.minPos

Returns the position of the minimum element of forward range range, i.e. a subrange of range starting at the position of its smallest element and with the same ending as range. The function can actually be used for finding the maximum or any other ordering predicate (that's why maxPos is not provided).

Prototype

Range minPos(alias pred, Range)(
  Range range
)
if (isForwardRange!Range && !isInfinite!Range && is(typeof(binaryFun!pred(range.front, range.front))));

Example

int[] a = [ 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 4, 1, 1, 2 ];
// Minimum is 1 and first occurs in position 3
assert(minPos(a) == [ 1, 2, 4, 1, 1, 2 ]);
// Maximum is 4 and first occurs in position 2
assert(minPos!("a > b")(a) == [ 4, 1, 2, 4, 1, 1, 2 ]);
