    C++ Lambda Expression

    Published Jul 24, 2019 [  C++  ]

    C++11 introduces lambadas allow you to write inline, anonymous functor.

    void func3(vector<int>& v){
        for_each(v.begin() v.end(), [](int){
            // do something
        })
    }
    

    Lambda functions are just syntactic sugar for anonymous functors.

    Return Types

    In simple cases the return type of the lambda is deduced for you,

    void func4(vector<double>& v){
        transform(v.begin(), v.end(), v.begin()), [](double){
            return d < 0.000001 ? 0 : d;
        }
    }
    

    To explicitly specify a return type, using -> T

    void func4(vector<double>& v){
        transform(v.begin(), v.end(), v.begin(), [](double d) -> double {
            return d < 0.001 ? 0 : d;
        })
    }
    

    Capturing variables

    void func5(vector<double>& v, const double& epsilon){
        transform(v.begin(), v.end(), v.begin(), [epsilon](double d) -> double {
            return d < epsilon ? 0 : d;
        })
    }
    
    • [&epsilon] capture by reference
    • [&] captures all variables used in the lambda by reference
    • [=] captures all variables used in the lambda by value
    • [&, epsilon] captures variables like with [&], but epsilon by value
    • [=, &epsilon] captures variables like with [&], but epsilon by reference
