Non-Modifying Algorithms

Non-modifying algorithms are an essential part of the STL (Standard Template Library) in C++. Unlike their modifying counterparts, which change the content of containers, non-modifying algorithms allow us to perform operations on data without altering it.

This might seem trivial at first, but there are powerful use cases where retaining the original data is crucial, such as when we need to analyze data trends, check conditions, or generate summaries.

Let's dive deeper into this topic and explore how non-modifying algorithms work, their applications, and practical code examples that can help you employ them effectively.
