(3) (since C++23)

Fills the range [firstlast) with sequentially increasing values, starting with value and repetitively evaluating ++value.

Equivalent operation:

*(first)= value;*(first +1)=++value;*(first +2)=++value;*(first +3)=++value; ...

[edit]Parameters

first, last - the iterator-sentinel pair defining the range of elements to fill with sequentially increasing values starting with value
value - initial value to store; the expression ++value must be well-formed

[edit]Return value

{last, value +ranges::distance(first, last)}

[edit]Complexity

Exactly last - first increments and assignments.

[edit]Possible implementation

struct iota_fn {template<std::input_or_output_iterator O, std::sentinel_for<O> S, std::weakly_incrementable T> requires std::indirectly_writable<O, const T&>constexpr iota_result<O, T> operator()(O first, S last, T value)const{while(first != last){*first = as_const(value);++first;++value;}return{std::move(first), std::move(value)};}   template<std::weakly_incrementable T, std::ranges::output_range<const T&> R>constexpr iota_result<std::ranges::borrowed_iterator_t<R>, T> operator()(R&& r, T value)const{return(*this)(std::ranges::begin(r), std::ranges::end(r), std::move(value));}};   inlineconstexpr iota_fn iota;

[edit]Notes

The function is named after the integer function from the programming language APL.

[edit]Example

Uses the vector of iterators (std::vector<std::list<T>::iterator>) as a proxy to shuffle the elements of the std::list, because ranges::shuffle cannot be applied to the std::list directly.

#include <algorithm>#include <functional>#include <iostream>#include <list>#include <numeric>#include <random>#include <vector>   template<typename Proj =std::identity>void println(auto comment, std::ranges::input_rangeauto&& range, Proj proj ={}){for(std::cout<< comment;autoconst&element : range)std::cout<< proj(element)<<' ';std::cout<<'\n';}   int main(){std::list<int> list(8);   // Fill the list with ascending values: 0, 1, 2, ..., 7 std::ranges::iota(list, 0); println("List: ", list);   // A vector of iterators (see the comment to Example)std::vector<std::list<int>::iterator> vec(list.size());   // Fill with iterators to consecutive list's elements std::ranges::iota(vec.begin(), vec.end(), list.begin());   std::ranges::shuffle(vec, std::mt19937{std::random_device{}()}); println("List viewed via vector: ", vec, [](auto it){return*it;});}

Possible output:

List: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 List viewed via vector: 5 7 6 0 1 3 4 2
