operator==(std::counted_iterator,take_view::sentinel)

 

constexpr auto begin() requires (!/*simple-view*/<V>);	(1)	(since C++20)
constexpr auto begin() const requires ranges::range<const V>;	(2)	(since C++20)

Returns an iterator to the first element of the take_view.

1) Returns a std::counted_iterator or a ranges::iterator_t<V>.

2) Returns a std::counted_iterator or a ranges::iterator_t<const V>.

Overload (1) does not participate in overload resolution if V is a simple view (that is, if V and const V are views with the same iterator and sentinel types).

Parameters

(none)

Return value

The result depends on the concepts satisfied by possibly const-qualified underlying view type Base, which is V for (1) or const V for (2).

Let base_ be the underlying view, count_ be the underlying counter (equals to ​0​ if take_view was default initialized).

The underlying view type satisfies ...		random_access_range
		yes	no
sized_range	yes	ranges::begin(base_)	std::counted_iterator(ranges::begin(base_),     ranges::range_difference_t<Base_>(this->size()))
	no	std::counted_iterator(ranges::begin(base_), count_)

Example

Run this code

#include <concepts>
#include <forward_list>
#include <iostream>
#include <ranges>
#include <string_view>
#include <type_traits>
using namespace std::literals;
 
int main()
{
    {
        static constexpr auto v = {"∀x"sv, "∃y"sv, "ε"sv, "δ"sv};
        auto view = std::ranges::take_view(v, 8);
        auto iter = view.begin();
        std::cout << *iter << '\n';
        static_assert(
            std::ranges::sized_range<decltype(v)> and
            std::ranges::random_access_range<decltype(v)> and
            std::is_same_v<decltype(iter), decltype(std::ranges::begin(v))>
        );
    }
 
    {
        std::forward_list v = {"Ax"sv, "Ey"sv, "p"sv, "q"sv};
        auto view = std::ranges::take_view(v, 8);
        auto iter = view.begin();
        std::cout << *iter << '\n';
        static_assert(
            not std::ranges::sized_range<decltype(v)> and
            not std::ranges::random_access_range<decltype(v)> and
            std::is_same_v<decltype(iter),
                std::counted_iterator<
                    std::forward_list<std::string_view>::iterator>>
        );
    }
}

Output:

∀x
Ax
