1) Returns an iterator pointing to the first element in the range [first, last) that is greater than value, or last if no such element is found. The range [first, last) must be partitioned with respect to the expression or !comp(value, element), i.e., all elements for which the expression is true must precede all elements for which the expression is false. A fully-sorted range meets this criterion.

2) Same as (1), but uses r as the source range, as if using ranges::begin(r) as first and ranges::end(r) as last.

The function-like entities described on this page are algorithm function objects (informally known as niebloids), that is:

Explicit template argument lists cannot be specified when calling any of them.
None of them are visible to argument-dependent lookup.
When any of them are found by normal unqualified lookup as the name to the left of the function-call operator, argument-dependent lookup is inhibited.

Parameters

first, last	-	the iterator-sentinel pair defining the partially-ordered range of elements to examine
r	-	the partially-ordered range to examine
value	-	value to compare the elements to
pred	-	predicate to apply to the projected elements
proj	-	projection to apply to the elements

Return value

Iterator pointing to the first element that is greater than value, or last if no such element is found.

Complexity

The number of comparisons and applications of the projection performed are logarithmic in the distance between first and last (at most log2(last - first) + O(1) comparisons and applications of the projection). However, for an iterator that does not model random_access_iterator, the number of iterator increments is linear.
