C++ Lambda Expressions Code Example

C++

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>

int main() {
    std::vector<int> nums = {4, 1, 8, 3};
    std::sort(nums.begin(), nums.end(), [](int a, int b) {
        return a < b;
    });

    for (int n : nums) std::cout << n << " ";
    return 0;
}
