Position in Vector using STL

Question

im trying to locate the position of the minimum value in a vector, using STL find algorithm (and the min_element algorithm), but instead of returning the postion, its just givin

Answer 1

min_element already gives you the iterator, no need to invoke find (additionally, it's inefficient because it's twice the work). Use distance or the - operator:

cout << "min value at " << min_element(v2.begin(), v2.end()) - v2.begin();
