Lambda expression (sum of vectors)

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

How should my lambda expression look in this case? I want to add vectors not by std::plus<> but using lambda.

MatVect add_vectors(const MatVect& v1, const MatVect& v2) 
{
    MatVect v(v1.size());

    std::transform(v1.cbegin(), v1.cend(), v2.cbegin(), v.begin(), [](){ return });

    return v;
}

It should like this:

std::transform(v1.cbegin(), v1.cend(), v2.cbegin(), v.begin(), [](const int& i, const int& j){ return i + j; });

Minimal example:

#include
#include

using MatVect = std::vector;

MatVect add_vectors(const MatVect& v1, const MatVect& v2) 
{
    MatVect v(v1.size());

    std::transform(v1.cbegin(), v1.cend(), v2.cbegin(), v.begin(), [](const int& i, const int& j){ return i + j; });

    return v;
}



int main()
{
    MatVect mv1 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
    MatVect mv2 = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10};

    MatVect mv3 = add_vectors(mv1, mv2);
    for(auto const& i : mv3)
    {
        std::cout << i << " ";
    }
    return 0;
