How to create a map function in c++?

Question

Say there is a list of integers [1,2,3,4,5] and a map function that multiplies each element with 10 and returns modified list as [10,20,30,40,50] , with out modifying the original list. How this can be done efficiently in c++.

Answer 1

Here's an example:

#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>

using namespace std;

int multiply(int);

int main() {
    vector<int> source;
    for(int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
    source.push_back(i);
    }

    vector<int> result;
    result.resize(source.size());
    transform(source.begin(), source.end(), result.begin(), multiply);

    for(vector<int>::iterator it = result.begin(); it != result.end(); ++it) {
        cout << *it << endl;
    }
}

int multiply(int value) {
    return value * 10;
}
