Merge Algorithm - Language Support

Language Support

The C++'s Standard Template Library has the function std::merge, which merges two sorted ranges of iterators, and std::inplace_merge, which merges two consecutive sorted ranges in-place. In addition, the std::list (linked list) class has its own merge method which merges another list into itself. The type of the elements merged must support the less-than (<) operator, or it must be provided with a custom comparator.

Python (programming language)'s standard library (since 2.6) also has a merge function in the heapq module, that takes multiple sorted iterables, and merges them into a single iterator.

Famous quotes containing the words language and/or support:

    To try to write love is to confront the muck of language: that region of hysteria where language is both too much and too little, excessive ... and impoverished.
    Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    The habit of arguing in support of atheism, whether it be done from conviction or in pretense, is a wicked and impious practice.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
