Ranges and Views
This chapter will pick up right where we left off in the previous chapter about algorithms and their limitations. Views from the Ranges library are a powerful complement to the Algorithm library, which allows us to compose multiple transformations into a lazy evaluated view over a sequence of elements. After reading this chapter, you will understand what range views are and how to use them in combination with containers, iterators, and algorithms from the standard library.
Specifically, we'll cover the following major topics:
- The composability of algorithms
- Range adaptors
- Materializing views into containers
- Generating, transforming, and sampling elements in a range
Before we get into the Ranges library itself, let's discuss ...
