std::max_element

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <cmath>
 
static bool abs_compare(int a, int b)
{
    return (std::abs(a) < std::abs(b));
}
 
int main()
{
    std::vector<int> v{ 3, 1, -14, 1, 5, 9 }; 
    std::vector<int>::iterator result;
 
    result = std::max_element(v.begin(), v.end());
    std::cout << "max element at: " << std::distance(v.begin(), result) << '
';
 
    result = std::max_element(v.begin(), v.end(), abs_compare);
    std::cout << "max element (absolute) at: " << std::distance(v.begin(), result);
}

max element at: 5
max element (absolute) at: 2

std::distance

#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <vector>
 
int main() 
{
    std::vector<int> v{ 3, 1, 4 };
    std::cout << "distance(first, last) = "
              << std::distance(v.begin(), v.end()) << '
'
              << "distance(last, first) = "
              << std::distance(v.end(), v.begin()) << '
';
}

distance(first, last) = 3
distance(last, first) = -3

std::reverse

#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <algorithm>
 
int main()
{
    std::vector<int> v({1,2,3});
    std::reverse(std::begin(v), std::end(v));
    std::cout << v[0] << v[1] << v[2] << '
';
 
    int a[] = {4, 5, 6, 7};
    std::reverse(std::begin(a), std::end(a));
    std::cout << a[0] << a[1] << a[2] << a[3] << '
';
