The Motivation for the Ranges Library
Get introduced to the Ranges library and its features.
We'll cover the following...
Before we get into the Ranges library itself, let’s discuss why it’s been added to C++20 and why we’d want to use it.
The Ranges library
With the introduction of the Ranges library to C++20 came some major improvements to how we benefit from the standard library when implementing algorithms. The following list shows the new features:
-
Concepts that define requirements on iterators and ranges can now be better checked by the compiler and provide more help during development
-
New overloads of all functions in the
<algorithm>header are constrained with the concepts just mentioned and accept ranges as arguments rather than iterator pairs -
Constrained iterators in the iterator header
-
