I did not find this specific topic anywhere... I am calling the nth_element() algorithm about 400,000 times per second on different data in a std::vector of 23 integers, more precise "unsigned sho...

I've written a program where the user can enter any number of values into a vector and it's supposed to return the quartiles, but I keep getting a "vector subscript out of range" error : #include ...

I want to implement Vantage Point Tree in the python, but it use the std::nth_element in the C++. So I want to find the equivalent 'nth_element' function in Python or in numpy. Notice, the nth_el...

There are a lot of claims on StackOverflow and elsewhere that nth_element is O(n) and that it is typically implemented with Introselect: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/algorithm/nth_element I wa...

I am using std::nth_element to get a (roughly correct) value for a percentile of a vector, like so: double percentile(std::vector<double> &vectorIn, double percent) { std::nth_element(v...

Does anyone know both the expected running times and worst case running times for different implementations of std::nth_element? I use this algorithm nearly every day. I'm specifically interested ...

I'm porting some C++ code to C#. Does C# have an equivalent to std::nth_element() or do I need to roll my own?

I have recently found out that there exists a method called nth_element in the STL. To quote the description: Nth_element is similar to partial_sort, in that it partially orders a range of ele...
