Function order_stat::kth_by

pub fn kth_by<T, F>(array: &mut [T], k: usize, cmp: F) -> &mut T where
    F: FnMut(&T, &T) -> Ordering, 

Compute the element that is the kth order statistic in the ordering defined by cmp (that is, the kth element of array.sort_by(cmp)).

See special case kth for more details. It is equivalent to kth_by(array, k, Ord::cmp).

Panics

If k >= array.len(), kth_by panics.

Examples

let mut v = [10.0, 0.0, -10.0, 20.0];
// no NaNs, so partial_cmp works
let kth = order_stat::kth_by(&mut v, 2, |x, y| x.partial_cmp(y).unwrap());

assert_eq!(*kth, 10.0);
