Defined in header <ranges>
template< std::weakly_incrementable W, std::semiregular Bound = std::unreachable_sentinel_t > requires /*weakly-equality-comparable-with*/<W, Bound> && std::copyable<W> class iota_view : public ranges::view_interface<iota_view<W, Bound>>	(1)	(since C++20)
namespace views { inline constexpr /* unspecified */ iota = /* unspecified */; }	(2)	(since C++20)
Call signature
template< class W > requires /* see below */ constexpr /* see below */ iota( W&& value );		(since C++20)
template< class W, class Bound > requires /* see below */ constexpr /* see below */ iota( W&& value, Bound&& bound );		(since C++20)

1) A range factory that generates a sequence of elements by repeatedly incrementing an initial value. Can be either bounded or unbounded (infinite).

2) views::iota(e) and views::iota(e, f) are expression-equivalent to iota_view<std::decay_t<decltype((e))>>(e) and iota_view(e, f) respectively for any suitable subexpressions e and f.

Customization point objects

The name views::iota denotes a customization point object, which is a const function object of a literal semiregular class type. See CustomizationPointObject for details.

Data members

Member	Definition
W value_	the beginning value (exposition-only member object*)
Bound bound_	the sentinel value, may be unreachable (exposition-only member object*)

Member functions

(constructor)	creates an iota_view (public member function)
begin	obtains the beginning iterator of an iota_view (public member function)
end	obtains the sentinel denoting the end of an iota_view (public member function)
empty	tests whether the iota_view is empty (i.e. the iterator and the sentinel compare equal) (public member function)
size (optional)	obtains the size of an iota_view (only provided if it is bounded) (public member function)
Inherited from ranges::view_interface
cbegin (C++23)	returns a constant iterator to the beginning of the range (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)
cend (C++23)	returns a sentinel for the constant iterator of the range (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)
operator bool	returns whether the derived view is not empty, provided only if ranges::empty is applicable to it (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)
front	returns the first element in the derived view, provided if it satisfies forward_range (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)
back	returns the last element in the derived view, provided only if it satisfies bidirectional_range and common_range (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)
operator[]	returns the nth element in the derived view, provided only if it satisfies random_access_range (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)

Nested classes

iterator	the iterator type (exposition-only member class*)
sentinel	the sentinel type used when the iota_view is bounded and Bound and W are not the same type (exposition-only member class*)

Helper templates

template< std::weakly_incrementable W, std::semiregular Bound > constexpr bool ranges::enable_borrowed_range<ranges::iota_view<W, Bound>> = true;		(since C++20)

This specialization of ranges::enable_borrowed_range makes iota_view satisfy borrowed_range.

Example

Run this code

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <ranges>
    
struct Bound
{
    int bound;
    bool operator==(int x) const { return x == bound; }
};

int main()
{
    for (int i : std::ranges::iota_view{1, 10})
        std::cout << i << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
    
    for (int i : std::views::iota(1, 10))
        std::cout << i << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
    
    for (int i : std::views::iota(1, Bound{10}))
        std::cout << i << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
    
    for (int i : std::views::iota(1) | std::views::take(9))
        std::cout << i << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
    
    std::ranges::for_each(std::views::iota(1, 10),
                          [](int i){ std::cout << i << ' '; });
    std::cout << '\n';
}

Output:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR	Applied to	Behavior as published	Correct behavior
LWG 4096	C++20	views::iota could copy an iota_view as-is	forbidden
P2325R3	C++20	iota_view required that W is semiregular as view required default_initializable	only requires that W is copyable
