The sort_heap( ) is an STL algorithm which sorts a heap within the range specified by start and end. Sorts the elements in the heap range [start, end) into ascending order.

The second form allows you to specify a comparison function that determines when one element is less than another.
Defined in header

It has two versions, which are defined below:.
1. Comparing elements using “<":
Syntax:

template 
void sort_heap(RandIter start, RandIter end);
start, end :     the range of elements to sort
Return Value:  Since, return type is void, so it doesnot return any value. 

Implementation

template
void sort_heap( RandIter start, RandIter end );
{
    while (start != end)
        std::pop_heap(start, end--);
}

2. By comparing using a pre-defined function:
Syntax:

template 
void sort_heap(RandIter start, RandIter end, Comp cmpfn);
start, end :    the range of elements to sort
comp:   comparison function object (i.e. an object that satisfies the requirements of Compare) 
which returns ?true if the first argument is less than the second.
Return Value : Since, its return type is void, so it doesnot return any value. 

Implementation

template
void sort_heap( RandIter start, RandIter end, Comp cmpfn );
{
    while (start != end)
        std::pop_heap(start, end--, cmpfn);
}




// CPP program to illustrate
// std::sort_heap
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    vector<int> v = {8, 6, 2, 1, 5, 10}; 
   
    make_heap(v.begin(), v.end());
   
    cout << "heap:   ";
    for (const auto &i : v) {
     cout << i << ' ';
    }   
   
    sort_heap(v.begin(), v.end());
   
    std::cout <<endl<< "now sorted:   ";
    for (const auto &i : v) {                                                   
        cout << i << ' ';
    }   
    std::cout <<endl;
}


Output:

heap: 10 6 8 1 5 2 
now sorted: 1 2 5 6 8 10 

Another Example :




// CPP program to illustrate
// std::sort_heap
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
  
int main( ) {
   using namespace std;
   vector <int> vt1, vt2;
   vector <int>::iterator Itera1, Itera2;
  
   int i;
   for ( i = 1 ; i <=5 ; i++ )
      vt1.push_back( i );
  
   random_shuffle( vt1.begin( ), vt1.end( ) );
  
   cout << "vector vt1 is ( " ;
   for ( Itera1 = vt1.begin( ) ; Itera1 != vt1.end( ) ; Itera1++ )
      cout << *Itera1 << " ";
   cout << ")" << endl;
  
   sort_heap (vt1.begin( ), vt1.end( ) );
   cout << "heap vt1 sorted range: ( " ;
   for ( Itera1 = vt1.begin( ) ; Itera1 != vt1.end( ) ; Itera1++ )
      cout << *Itera1 << " ";
   cout << ")" << endl;
}
    


Output:

vector vt1 is ( 5 4 2 3 1 )
heap vt1 sorted range: ( 1 2 3 4 5 )
