how can I find the smallest item in a vector

[ken]

Hi,

Is there a std algorithm which find the smallest item in a vector?
One way to do it is to use the sort algorithm and then get the first
element.
But what if I just care about the smallest, so I don't care if the
rest of the vector is sorted according.

Is there a more efficient solution to my problem?

Thank you.

Okay I find a solution:
std::min_element
