Shifts the elements in the range [first, last) or r by n positions. The behavior is undefined if [first, last) is not a valid range.
- If n == 0 || n >= last - first, there are no effects.
 - If n < 0, the behavior is undefined.
 -  Otherwise, for every integer 
iin[0,last - first - n), moves the element originally at position first + n + i to position first + i. The moves are performed in increasing order ofistarting from 0. 
- If n == 0 || n >= last - first, there are no effects.
 - If n < 0, the behavior is undefined.
 -  Otherwise, for every integer 
iin[0,last - first - n), moves the element originally at position first + i to position first + n + i. IfImodelsbidirectional_iterator, then the moves are performed in decreasing order ofistarting from last - first - n - 1. 
Elements that are in the original range but not the new range are left in a valid but unspecified state.
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.

[edit] Parameters
| first, last | - | the iterator-sentinel pair defining the range of elements to shift | 
| r | - | the range of elements to shift | 
| n | - | the number of positions to shift | 
[edit] Return value
NEW_LAST is the end of the resulting range and equivalent to:
-  first + (last - first - n), if 
nis less than last - first; - first otherwise.
 
NEW_FIRST is the beginning of the resulting range and equivalent to:
-  first + n, if 
nis less than last - first; - last otherwise.
 
[edit] Complexity
[edit] Notes
ranges::shift_left / ranges::shift_right has better efficiency on common implementations if I models bidirectional_iterator or (better) random_access_iterator.
Implementations (e.g. MSVC STL) may enable vectorization when the iterator type models contiguous_iterator and swapping its value type calls neither non-trivial special member function nor ADL-found swap.
