Build a Zip Iterator Adapter
Explore how to build a zip iterator adapter in C++ that combines elements from two sequences into pairs. Learn the construction of this adapter class, understand its iterator traits and operator overloads, and see how it enables seamless iteration over zipped containers. This lesson helps you extend iterator functionality to aggregate multiple sequences efficiently.
We'll cover the following...
Many
Let's consider the scenario of two sequences—they can be containers, iterators, or initialization lists.
We want to zip them together to make a new sequence with pairs of elements from the first two sequences:
In this recipe we will accomplish this task with an iterator adapter.
How to do it
In this recipe we’ll build a zip iterator adapter that takes two containers of the same type and zips the values into std::pair objects:
In our
main()function we want ...
