Let comp be less{} and proj be identity{} for overloads with no parameters by those names.
Preconditions: The elements e of [first, last) are partitioned with respect to the expressions bool(invoke(comp, invoke(proj, e), value)) and !bool(invoke(comp, value, invoke(proj, e))).
Also, for all elements e of [first, last), bool(comp(e, value)) implies !bool(comp(​value, e)) for the overloads in namespace std.
Returns:
  • For the overloads in namespace std: {lower_bound(first, last, value, comp), upper_bound(first, last, value, comp)}
  • For the overloads in namespace ranges: {ranges::lower_bound(first, last, value, comp, proj), ranges::upper_bound(first, last, value, comp, proj)}
Complexity: At most comparisons and projections.
