out

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

This library can provide significant performance increase compared to sorting or converting to a heap when n is relatively small.

N = 100, LEN = 1_000_000, RANGE = 1_000_000: test binary_heap ... bench: 6,706,060 ns/iter (+/- 102,080) test max ... bench: 846,891 ns/iter (+/- 19,960) test max_unstable ... bench: 844,215 ns/iter (+/- 18,365) test sort ... bench: 62,280,523 ns/iter (+/- 997,028) test sort_unstable ... bench: 34,822,256 ns/iter (+/- 3,047,204)

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]); } ```
