C++ Standard Template Library in Practice - Sorting and Gathering - std::partial_sort algorithm

The video tutorial explores partial sorting algorithms, focusing on partial sort, partial sort copy, and the NTH element function. It explains how these algorithms work, their signatures, and their applications. The tutorial includes a code demonstration using a vector of integers to illustrate the practical use of these algorithms, highlighting their efficiency compared to full sorting. The video concludes with observations on the results of the code execution.

How can you define what the 'smallest' element means in a partial sort?

What are the advantages of using partial sorts over full sorts?

In what scenarios would you prefer to use the NTH element function?
