C++17 STL Cookbook

How to do it...

In this section, we are going to implement our own STL-like algorithm called split, and then we check it out by splitting an example string:

1. First things first, we include some STL library parts and declare that we use the std namespace:

      #include <iostream>      #include <string>      #include <algorithm>      #include <iterator>      #include <list>            using namespace std;

2. The whole algorithm this section revolves around is split. It accepts a begin/end pair of input iterators, and an output iterator, which makes it similar to std::copy or std::transform at first. The other parameters are split_val and bin_func. The split_val parameter is the value we are searching for in the input range, which represents a splitting point at which we cut ...
