This Clause describes components that C++ programs may use to perform algorithmic operations on containers and other sequences.
The following subclauses describe components for non-modifying sequence operations, modifying sequence operations, sorting and related operations, and algorithms from the ISO C library, as summarized in Table 100.
| Subclause | Header(s) | |
| [alg.nonmodifying] | Non-modifying sequence operations | |
| [alg.modifying.operations] | Mutating sequence operations | <algorithm> |
| [alg.sorting] | Sorting and related operations | |
| [alg.c.library] | C library algorithms | <cstdlib> |
