fcppt.algorithm

Description

General-purpose algorithms.

C++'s standard algorithms use iterators both for function inputs and outputs. This makes functional programming hard in two ways:

This module provides a collection of very common algorithms over ranges that fix both problems. Prominent examples are fcppt::algorithm::fold and fcppt::algorithm::map . To get the most out of them, these can be used in conjunction with a range library (like Boost.Range).

Note
As an optimization the result container has its capacity set to the source range's size at the start, if possible. For this to work, the result container needs a reserve function, and the source range needs a size function or must be a random-access range.

The actual implementation of the algorithm is provided by fcppt::algorithm::map_impl which by default uses fcppt::algorithm::loop.
