Description

Repeatedly applies binary Polymorphic Function Object f to each element of a sequence and the previous state. accumulate is equivalent to fold.

Synopsis

template<
    typename Sequence,
    typename State,
    typename F
    >
typename result_of::accumulate<Sequence, State, F>::type accumulate(
    Sequence& seq, State const& initial_state, F const& f);

Expression Semantics

accumulate(seq, initial_state, f);

Return type: Any type

Semantics: Equivalent to f(eN ....f(e2,f(e1,initial_state))) where e1 ...eN are the elements of seq.

Complexity

Linear, exactly result_of::size<Sequence>::value applications of f.

Example

struct make_string
{
    template<typename T, typename State>
    struct result
    {
        typedef std::string type;
    };

    template<typename T>
    std::string operator()(const T& t, const std::string& str) const
    {
        return str + boost::lexical_cast<std::string>(t);
    }
};
...
const vector<int,int> vec(1,2);
assert(accumulate(vec,std::string(""), make_string()) == "12");
