It's a simple binary search.

    Actually i m not able to understand this step. std::advance (it,step);

      bcoz this step is linear and this will increase it's complexity..?

        its just equal to it+step in our case, works for O(1)

          It's O ( 1 ) when you have random access iterators, on non random access iterators it has linear complexity.
