NAME

std::valarray::apply - std::valarray::apply

Synopsis

valarray<T> apply( T func(T) ) const;
valarray<T> apply( T func(const T&) ) const;

Returns a new valarray of the same size with values which are acquired by applying
function func to the previous values of the elements.

Parameters

func - function to apply to the values

Return value

The resulting valarray with values acquired by applying function func.

Notes

The function can be implemented with the return type different from std::valarray.
In this case, the replacement type has the following properties:

* All const member functions of std::valarray are provided.
* std::valarray, std::slice_array, std::gslice_array, std::mask_array and
std::indirect_array can be constructed from the replacement type.
* All functions accepting an argument of type const std::valarray&
except begin() and end()
(since C++11) should also accept the replacement type.
* All functions accepting two arguments of type const std::valarray&
should accept every combination of const std::valarray& and the
replacement type.
* The return type does not add more than two levels of template nesting
over the most deeply-nested argument type.

Possible implementation

Following straightforward implementations can be replaced by expression templates
for a higher efficiency.

template<class T>
valarray<T> valarray<T>::apply( T func(T) ) const
{
valarray<T> other = *this;
for (T &i : other) {
i = func(i);
}
return other;
}

template<class T>
valarray<T> valarray<T>::apply( T func(const T&) ) const
{
valarray<T> other = *this;
for (T &i : other) {
i = func(i);
}
return other;
}

Example

calculates and prints the first 10 factorials

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <valarray>
#include <cmath>

int main()
{
std::valarray<int> v = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10};
v = v.apply([](int n)->int {
return std::round(std::tgamma(n+1));
});
for(auto n : v) {
std::cout << n << ' ';
}
std::cout << '\n';
}

Output:

1 2 6 24 120 720 5040 40320 362880 3628800
