out

Provides functionality to get n items from a &mut [T].

This library can provide significant performance increase compared to sorting the whole list when n is relatively small.

N = 100, LEN = 1_000_000, RANGE = 1_000_000: test max ... bench: 5,483,288 ns/iter (+/- 231,299) test max_unstable ... bench: 5,462,940 ns/iter (+/- 139,545) test sort ... bench: 67,729,867 ns/iter (+/- 2,045,393) test sort_unstable ... bench: 35,710,133 ns/iter (+/- 983,608)

Examples

Add this to Cargo.toml:

toml [dependencies] out = "0.5"

And this to main.rs:

```rust extern crate out;

fn main() { let mut v = [-5, 4, 1, -3, 2]; let max = out::max(&mut v, 3); assert_eq!(max, [1, 2, 4]); } ```
