+ The neatest accomplishment of the algorithms sect1 is that all the
+ work is done via iterators, not containers directly. This means two
+ important things:
+</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem"><p>
+ Anything that behaves like an iterator can be used in one of
+ these algorithms. Raw pointers make great candidates, thus
+ built-in arrays are fine containers, as well as your own
+ iterators.
+ </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
+ The algorithms do not (and cannot) affect the container as a
+ whole; only the things between the two iterator endpoints. If
+ you pass a range of iterators only enclosing the middle third of
+ a container, then anything outside that range is inviolate.
+ </p></li></ol></div><p>
+ Even strings can be fed through the algorithms here, although the
+ string class has specialized versions of many of these functions
+ (for example, <code class="code">string::find()</code>). Most of the examples
+ on this page will use simple arrays of integers as a playground
+ for algorithms, just to keep things simple. The use of
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>N</em></span> as a size in the examples is to keep things
+ easy to read but probably won't be valid code. You can use wrappers
+ such as those described in
+ the <a class="link" href="containers.html" title="Chapter 9.  Containers">containers sect1</a> to keep
+ real code readable.
+</p><p>
+ The single thing that trips people up the most is the definition
+ of <span class="emphasis"><em>range</em></span> used with iterators; the famous
+ "past-the-end" rule that everybody loves to hate. The
+ <a class="link" href="iterators.html" title="Chapter 10.  Iterators">iterators sect1</a> of this
+ document has a complete explanation of this simple rule that seems
+ to cause so much confusion. Once you
+ get <span class="emphasis"><em>range</em></span> into your head (it's not that hard,
+ honest!), then the algorithms are a cakewalk.
+</p><div class="sect1" title="Mutating"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="std.algorithms.mutating"></a>Mutating</h2></div></div></div><div class="sect2" title="swap"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="algorithms.mutating.swap"></a><code class="function">swap</code></h3></div></div></div><div class="sect3" title="Specializations"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="algorithms.swap.specializations"></a>Specializations</h4></div></div></div><p>If you call <code class="code"> std::swap(x,y); </code> where x and y are standard
+ containers, then the call will automatically be replaced by a call to
+ <code class="code"> x.swap(y); </code> instead.
+ </p><p>This allows member functions of each container class to take over, and
+ containers' swap functions should have O(1) complexity according to
+ the standard. (And while "should" allows implementations to
+ behave otherwise and remain compliant, this implementation does in
+ fact use constant-time swaps.) This should not be surprising, since
+ for two containers of the same type to swap contents, only some
+ internal pointers to storage need to be exchanged.
