std::stable_partition
C++98 · The Foundation · Compiler flag: -std=c++98
Explanation
Partitions while preserving relative order.
Real-World Scenario
Group items by category while maintaining order in a catalog.
Quick Snippet

std::stable_partition(vec.begin(), vec.end(), isPositive);Full Example
stable_partition.cpp
// CodeNebula - C++98 Example: stable_partition
// Compile: g++ -std=c++98 -Wall -Wextra -o example stable_partition.cpp
// std::stable_partition reorders elements so that those satisfying
// a predicate come first, while preserving the relative order
// within each group (unlike std::partition).

// Stable partition: evens first, odds second
// Relative order within each group is preserved

}
// Expected output:
// Original: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
// After stable_partition: 2 4 6 8 10 1 3 5 7 9
// Evens: 2 4 6 8 10
// Odds: 1 3 5 7 9
