C-style arrays can be passed as containers to STL algorithms. The pointers to array elements can be used as iterators.

Example:

 #include #include int main(){    int array[] = { 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 };    const int array_size = sizeof array / sizeof array[0];    std::sort(array, array + array_size);    for (int i = 0; i 7lt; array_size; ++i)        std::cout << array[i] << ' ';    std::cout << std::endl;    return 0;}
