// lower_bound/upper_bound example
#include <iostream> // std::cout
#include <algorithm> // std::lower_bound, std::upper_bound, std::sort
#include <vector> // std::vector
int main () {
int myints[] = {10,20,30,30,20,10,10,20};
std::vector<int> v(myints,myints+8); // 10 20 30 30 20 10 10 20
std::sort (v.begin(), v.end()); // 10 10 10 20 20 20 30 30
std::vector<int>::iterator low,up;
low=std::lower_bound (v.begin(), v.end(), 20); // ^
up= std::upper_bound (v.begin(), v.end(), 20); // ^
std::cout << "lower_bound at position " << (low- v.begin()) << '\n';
std::cout << "upper_bound at position " << (up - v.begin()) << '\n';

}
Output:
lower_bound at position 3
upper_bound at position 6
