Functional constructs : map, fold, ...
========================================================
map
--------
* **Purpose** :
map promotes any function into an `array function`, acting term by term.
* **Syntax** :
If `f` is a function, or a function object (SEE : ref to function object lib)::
f : ValueType1 --> ValueType2
Then map(f) is a function::
ReturnType map(f) ( ArgType const & A)
where ArgType models the :ref:`HasImmutableArrayInterface` concept
* with value_type == ValueType1
and ReturnType models the :ref:`HasImmutableArrayInterface` concept
* with the same domain as ArgType
* with value_type == ValueType2
* Examples::
double f(int i) { return i*10;}
int main() {
auto F = map(f);
array<int,2> A(2,2);
array<double,2> B;
A() =2;
B = F(A);
// works also with expressions of course
C = F( 2*A );
C = C + 3* F(2*A); // ok that is just an example...
}
* Some cases require explicit cast, e.g. for the standard abs function (defined in XXXX), or the compiler does not know which std::abs you are talking about ::
auto Abs = map( static_cast< double (*)(double)> (std::abs) );
fold
-------------------------------------------------
* **Purpose** :
fold implement the folding (or reduction) on the array.
* **Syntax** :
If A is a type which models the :ref:`HasImmutableArrayInterface` concept
(e.g. an array<ValueType1,R, Opt> , a matrix, a vector, an expression, ...)
and `f` is a function, or a function object (SEE : ref to function object lib)::
ValueType2 f (A::value_type , ValueType2)
Then fold (f , A, ValueType2 init = ValueType2() ) = f( f( f( ... f( a(0,1), a(0,0)))))
.. warning::
The order of traversal is the same as foreach.
* **Example** : sum is implemented like this ::
template <class A>
typename A::value_type sum(A const & a) { return fold ( std::plus<typename A::value_type>()) (a); }
