take_while_view class (C++ Standard Library)

A view that contains the leading elements of a range that match a predicate.

Syntax

template<view V, class Pred> requires
  input_range<V> && is_object_v<Pred> &&
  indirect_unary_predicate<const Pred, iterator_t<V>>
class take_while_view : public view_interface<take_while_view<V, Pred>>;

Template parameters

Pred
The type of the predicate that determines the leading elements to put in the view.

V
The type of the underlying view.

View characteristics

For a description of the following entries, see View class characteristics

Characteristic Description
Range adaptor views::take_while
Underlying range Must satisfy input_range or higher
Element type Same as the underlying range
View iterator category Same as the underlying range
Sized No
Is const-iterable Only if the underlying range is const iterable and the predicate can work with const references.
Common range No
Borrowed range No

Requirements

Header: <ranges> (since C++20)

Namespace: std::ranges

Compiler Option: /std:c++20 or later is required.

Constructors

Construct an instance of a take_while_view

1) take_while_view() requires 
    default_initializable<V> &&
    default_initializable<Pred> = default;

2) constexpr take_while_view(V base, Pred pred);

Parameters

base
The underlying view.

pred
The predicate that determines the leading elements to put in the view.

For information about template parameter types, see Template parameters.

Return value

A take_while_view object.

Remarks

The best way to create a take_while_view is by using the views::take_while range adaptor. Range adaptors are the intended way to create view classes. The view types are exposed in case you want to create your own custom view type.

1) Move constructs the take_while_view from a base view and a pred predicate. Both base and pred are moved via std::move().
2) Constructs an empty take_while_view. The underlying view and predicate are default constructed.

Example: take_while_view

// requires /std:c++20 or later
#include <ranges>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

int main()
{
    std::vector<int> v{0, 1, 2, 3, -4, 5, 6};
    auto twv = std::views::take_while(v, [](int i) {return i >= 0; });
    
    for (auto& e : twv)
    {
        std::cout << e << ' '; // 0 1 2 3
    }
    std::cout << '\n';

    // Using the '|' operator to create a take_view
    for (auto i : v | std::views::take_while([](int i) {return i < 5; }))
    {
        std::cout << i << ' '; // 0 1 2 3 -4
    }
}
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 -4

base

Gets a copy of the underlying view.

// Uses a copy constructor to return the underlying view
1) constexpr V base() const& requires std::copy_constructible<V>;

// Uses a move constructor to return the underlying view
2) constexpr V base() &&;

Parameters

None.

Returns

A copy of the underlying view.

begin

Get an iterator to the first element in the view.

1) constexpr auto begin() requires (!Simple_view<V>);
2) constexpr auto begin() const requires
        range<const V> && 
        indirect_unary_predicate<const Pred, iterator_t<const V>>

Parameters

None.

Return value

An iterator pointing at the first element in the view. The behavior is undefined if the view doesn't have a predicate.

Picture of a vector with the elements 10, 20, and 30. The first element contains 10 and is labeled begin(). The last element contains 30 and is labeled 'last element'. An imaginary box after the last element indicates the sentinel and is labeled end().

Remarks

For 1, the Simple_view requirement means that a view V and const V have the same iterator and sentinel types.

end

Get the sentinel at the end of the view.

1) constexpr auto end() requires (!Simple_view<V>);
2) constexpr auto end() const requires
        range<const V> &&
        indirect_unary_predicate<const Pred, iterator_t<const V>

Parameters

None.

Return value

The sentinel that follows the last element in the view.

Picture of a vector with the elements 10, 20, and 30. The first element contains 10 and is labeled begin(). The last element contains 30 and is labeled 'last element'. An imaginary box after the last element indicates the sentinel and is labeled end().

Remarks

For 1, the Simple_view requirement means that a view V and const V have the same iterator and sentinel types.

pred

Get a reference to the predicate used to select which leading elements will go in the view.

constexpr const Pred& pred() const;

Return value

A reference to the predicate used to select the leading elements to put in the view.

Example pred

// requires /std:c++20 or later
#include <ranges>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

int main()
{
    std::vector<int> v{ 0, 1, 2, 3, -4, 5, 6 };
    auto mv = v | std::views::take_while(
        [](int i) {return i < 5; });
    std::cout << std::boolalpha << mv.pred()(v[6]); // outputs false because v[6] = 6 and 6 is not less than 5 (the predicate)
}
