NAME

std::ranges::transform_view::transform_view - std::ranges::transform_view::transform_view

Synopsis

transform_view() requires std::default_initializable<V> && (1) (since C++20)
std::default_initializable<F> = default;
constexpr transform_view( V base, F fun ); (2) (since C++20)

Constructs a transform_view.

1) Default constructor. Value-initializes the underlying view and the transformation
function.
2) Move constructs the underlying view from base and the transformation function
from fun.

Parameters

base - view
fun - transformation function

Example

Demonstrates π approximation using serial expansion of arc tangent of 1:
atan(1) = π/4 ~ 1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/9 - 1/11 + ...

// Run this code

#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <numbers>
#include <ranges>

int main()
{
std::cout << std::setprecision(15) << std::fixed;
auto atan1term = std::ranges::views::transform(
[](int n) { return ((n % 2) ? -1 : 1) * 1.0 / (2 * n + 1); }
);
for (const int iterations : {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100, 1000, 1'000'000}) {
double accum{0.0};
for (double term : std::ranges::views::iota(0, iterations) | atan1term) {
accum += term;
}
std::cout << "π ~ " << 4 * accum << " (iterations: " << iterations << ")\n";
}
std::cout << "π ~ " << std::numbers::pi << " (std::numbers::pi)\n";
}

Possible output:

π ~ 4.000000000000000 (iterations: 1)
π ~ 2.666666666666667 (iterations: 2)
π ~ 3.466666666666667 (iterations: 3)
π ~ 2.895238095238096 (iterations: 4)
π ~ 3.339682539682540 (iterations: 5)
π ~ 3.041839618929403 (iterations: 10)
π ~ 3.131592903558554 (iterations: 100)
π ~ 3.140592653839794 (iterations: 1000)
π ~ 3.141591653589774 (iterations: 1000000)
π ~ 3.141592653589793 (std::numbers::pi)
