digitalmars.D - nth_element implementation?

Hi all,

Does anybody have an efficient nth_element implementation (ala the STL) for D
1.0.  I was using the version from algortihms.d in DMD 2.012 but that seems to
be non-existent anymore and was quite buggy.

thanks,
wade

The function is called topN in std.algorithm and still exists as far as I know. I did temporarily comment it out while working on the new std.algorithm, but I don't think I ever checked that in. If there are bugs pertinent to 2.0, I'd appreciate a bugzilla entry about it. Andrei

Do you mean to find the n-th ordered item, ranking? If so, there's a function in my dlibs too: http://www.fantascienza.net/leonardo/so/dlibs/ranking.html The code is for D1+Phobos: http://www.fantascienza.net/leonardo/so/libs_d.zip Bye, bearophile
