std::transform
C++98 · The Foundation · Compiler flag: -std=c++98
Explanation
Applies a function to a range, storing results elsewhere.
Real-World Scenario
Convert temperatures from Celsius to Fahrenheit.

// CodeNebula - C++98 Example: transform
// Compile: g++ -std=c++98 -Wall -Wextra -o example transform.cpp
// std::transform applies a function to each element in a range and stores the
// result in a destination range. It has two forms: unary (one input range)
// and binary (two input ranges combined with a binary operation).

}
int main() {
int arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
std::vector<int> v(arr, arr + 5);
// Unary transform: square each element
std::vector<int> squared(5);
std::transform(v.begin(), v.end(), squared.begin(), square);

}
std::cout << std::endl;
// Unary transform: negate using std::negate
std::vector<int> negated(5);
std::transform(v.begin(), v.end(), negated.begin(), std::negate<int>());
std::cout << "Negated: ";
for (std::vector<int>::iterator it = negated.begin(); it != negated.end(); ++it) {
std::cout << *it << " ";
}
std::cout << std::endl;
// Binary transform: add two ranges element-wise
int arr2[] = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50};
std::vector<int> v2(arr2, arr2 + 5);
std::vector<int> sums(5);

std::cout << "Sums: ";
for (std::vector<int>::iterator it = sums.begin(); it != sums.end(); ++it) {
std::cout << *it << " ";
}
std::cout << std::endl;
return 0;
}
// Expected output:
// Original: 1 2 3 4 5
// Squared: 1 4 9 16 25
// Negated: -1 -2 -3 -4 -5
// Sums: 11 22 33 44 55
