std::ranges::take_view<V>::begin

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | ranges‎ | take view
 
 
 
 
constexpr auto begin() requires (!__SimpleView<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::range_iterator_t<V>.
2) Returns a std::counted_iterator or a ranges::range_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 V (for overload (1)) or const V (for overload (2)).

Let base_ be the underlying view, count_ be the number passed to the constructor (0 if default initialized), sz be the value of size().

The underlying view satisfies ... random_access_range
yes no
sized_range yes ranges::begin(base_) std::counted_iterator{ranges::begin(base_), sz}
no std::counted_iterator{ranges::begin(base_), count_}

Example

#include <ranges>
#include <iostream>
#include <string_view>
using namespace std::literals;
 
int main()
{
    static constexpr auto sv = {"∀x"sv, "∃y"sv, "ε"sv, "δ"sv};
 
    std::cout << *std::ranges::take_view(sv, 8).begin() << '\n';
}

Output:

∀x
