Advancing from Abstract Ranges to the Ranges Library
Discover how to work with abstract ranges and transition to using the C++20 ranges library. Learn about range adaptors, views, and constrained algorithms that simplify iterator use and enhance container operations for efficient and readable code.

Traversing ranges using iterators
A range is an abstraction of a sequence of elements, delimited by two iterators (one to the first element of the sequence and one to the one-past-the-last element). Containers such as std::vector, std::list, and std::map are concrete implementations of the range abstraction. They have ownership of the elements, and they are implemented using various data structures, such as arrays, linked lists, or trees. The standard algorithms are generic. They are container agnostic. They know nothing about ...
