Daily bit(e) of C++ | std::min_element, std::max_element and std::minmax_element

The std::min_element, std::max_element and (C++11) std::minmax_element are min-max algorithms that operate on top of iterators, returning an iterator to the minimum/maximum element.

The algorithms provide parallel (C++17) variants and are constexpr and range enabled (C++20).

C++20 also offers a simpler alternative: a range overload of the base min-max algorithms.
