Min standard notice:
Header: <memory>
Let (\scriptsize N)N be ranges::min(ranges::distance(ifirst, ilast), ranges::distance(ofirst, olast)).

# Parameters
ifirst, ilast: iterator-sentinel pair denoting the range of elements to copy fromin_range: the range of elements to copy fromofirst, olast: iterator-sentinel pair denoting the destination rangeout_range: the destination range
# Return value
As described above.
# Notes
An implementation may improve the efficiency of ranges::uninitialized_copy if the value type of the output range is TrivialType.
# Example
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
#include <string>
int main()
