Synopsis

Defined in header <algorithm>

template< class ForwardIt >

constexpr ForwardIt shift_left( ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last,                  (1) (since C++20)

typename std::iterator_traits<ForwardIt>::difference_type n );

template< class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIt >

ForwardIt shift_left( ExecutionPolicy&& policy, ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last,  (2) (since C++20)

typename std::iterator_traits<ForwardIt>::difference_type n );

template< class ForwardIt >

constexpr ForwardIt shift_right( ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last,                 (3) (since C++20)

typename std::iterator_traits<ForwardIt>::difference_type n );

template< class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIt >

ForwardIt shift_right( ExecutionPolicy&& policy, ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last, (4) (since C++20)

typename std::iterator_traits<ForwardIt>::difference_type n );

Shifts the elements in the range [first, last) by n positions.
1) Shifts the elements towards the beginning of the range. If n <= 0 || n >= last – first, there are no effects. Otherwise, for every integer i in [0, last – first – n), moves the element originally at position first + n + i to position first + i. The moves are performed in increasing order of i starting from 0.
3) Shifts the elements towards the end of the range. If n <= 0 || n >= last – first, there are no effects. Otherwise, for every integer i in [0, last – first – n), moves the element originally at position first + i to position first + n + i. If ForwardIt meets the LegacyBidirectionalIterator requirements, then the moves are performed in decreasing order of i starting from last – first – n – 1.
2,4) Same as (1) and (3), respectively, but executed according to policy and the moves may be performed in any order. These overloads does not participate in overload resolution unless std::is_execution_policy_v<std::decay_t<ExecutionPolicy>> is true.
Elements that are in the original range but not the new range are left in a valid but unspecified state.

Parameters

first – the beginning of the original range
last – the end of the original range
n – the number of positions to shift
policy – the execution policy to use. See execution_policy for details.

Type requirements

–
ForwardIt must meet the requirements of LegacyForwardIterator.
–
ForwardIt must meet either the requirements of LegacyBidirectionalIterator or the requirements of ValueSwappable for overloads (3-4).
–
The type of dereferenced ForwardIt must meet the requirements of MoveAssignable.

Return value

1-2) The end of the resulting range. If n is positive and less than last – first, returns first + (last – first – n). Otherwise if n is positive, returns first. Otherwise, returns last.
3-4) The beginning of the resulting range. If n is positive and less than last – first, returns first + n. Otherwise if n is positive, returns last. Otherwise, returns first.

Complexity

1-2) At most std::distance(first, last) – n assignments.
3-4) At most std::distance(first, last) – n assignment or swaps.

Exceptions

The overloads with a template parameter named ExecutionPolicy report errors as follows:

* If execution of a function invoked as part of the algorithm throws an exception and ExecutionPolicy is one of the standard_policies, std::terminate is called. For any other ExecutionPolicy, the behavior is implementation-defined.
* If the algorithm fails to allocate memory, std::bad_alloc is thrown.
