Applies the given function to a range and stores the result in another range, beginning at result.

1) The unary operation op is applied to the range defined by [first1, last1) (after projecting with the projection proj).
2) Same as (1), but uses r as the source range, as if using ranges::begin(r) as first and ranges::end(r) as last.
3) The binary operation binary_op is applied to pairs of elements from two ranges: one defined by [first1, last1) and the other defined by [first2, last2) (after respectively projecting with the projections proj1 and proj2).
4) Same as (3), but uses r1 as the first source range, as if using ranges::begin(r1) as first1 and ranges::end(r1) as last1, and similarly for r2.

The function-like entities described on this page are niebloids, that is:

In practice, they may be implemented as function objects, or with special compiler extensions.

Parameters

first1, last1 - the first range of elements to transform
r, r1 - the first range of elements to transform
first2, last2 - the second range of elements to transform
r2 - the second range of elements to transform
result - the beginning of the destination range, may be equal to first1 or first2
op, binary_op - operation to apply to the projected element(s)
proj1 - projection to apply to the elements in the first range
proj2 - projection to apply to the elements in the second range

Return value

1,2) A unary_transform_result contains an input iterator equal to last and an output iterator to the element past the last element transformed.
3,4) A binary_transform_result contains input iterators to last transformed elements from ranges [first1, last1) and [first2, last2) as in1 and in2 respectively, and the output iterator to the element past the last element transformed as out.

Complexity

1,2) Exactly ranges::distance(first1, last1) applications of op and proj.
3,4) Exactly ranges::min(ranges::distance(first1, last1), ranges::distance(first2, last2)) applications of binary_op and projections.

Notes

ranges::transform does not guarantee in-order application of op or binary_op. To apply a function to a sequence in-order or to apply a function that modifies the elements of a sequence, use ranges::for_each.

Example

The following code uses ranges::transform to convert a string in place to uppercase using the std::toupper function and then transforms each char to its ordinal value. Then ranges::transform with a projection is used to transform elements of std::vector<Foo> into chars to fill a std::string.

Run this code
#include <algorithm>
#include <cctype>
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
 
int main()
{
    std::string s{"hello"};
    auto op = [](unsigned char c) -> unsigned char { return std::toupper(c); };
 
    namespace ranges = std::ranges;
 
    // uppercase the string in-place
    ranges::transform(s.begin(), s.end(), s.begin(), op );
 
    std::vector<std::size_t> ordinals;
    // convert each char to size_t
    ranges::transform(s, std::back_inserter(ordinals),
                      [](unsigned char c) -> std::size_t { return c; });
 
    std::cout << s << ':';
    for (auto ord : ordinals)
        std::cout << ' ' << ord;
 
    // double each ordinal
    ranges::transform(ordinals, ordinals, ordinals.begin(), std::plus {});
 
    std::cout << '\n';
    for (auto ord : ordinals)
        std::cout << ord << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
 
    struct Foo
    {
        char bar;
    };
    const std::vector<Foo> f = {{'h'},{'e'},{'l'},{'l'},{'o'}};
    std::string result;
    // project, then uppercase
    ranges::transform(f, std::back_inserter(result), op, &Foo::bar);
    std::cout << result << '\n';
}

Output: 

HELLO: 72 69 76 76 79
144 138 152 152 158
HELLO
