In the C++ Standard Library, algorithms are components that perform algorithmic operations on containers and other sequences.

The C++ standard provides some standard algorithms collected in the <algorithm> standard header. A handful of algorithms are also in the <numeric> header. All algorithms are in the std namespace.

The algorithms in the C++ Standard Library can be organized into the following categories.
