[jira] Created: (STDCXX-1048) rotate() description's example seems
misleading or wrong
rotate() description's example seems misleading or wrong
--------------------------------------------------------
Key: STDCXX-1048
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-1048
Project: C++ Standard Library
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: 4.2.1
Reporter: Jim Bell
Priority: Minor
rotate() description's example seems misleading at best. It says:
{quote}
Say that we have the sequence:
{{2 4 6 8 1 3 5}}
If we call rotate() with mid pointing to {{5}}, the two segments are
{{2 4 6 8}} and {{1 3 5}}
{quote}
To get the specified result, the mid must point to the fifth element, counting up from 1. But it would be more accurate to say "with mid pointing to {{advance(start, 4)}} ..." Further, the typeface for "5" makes it look like the item value 5, the last position on the original sequence list.
