Multiply vector elements by a scalar value using STL
Modern C++ solution for your question.
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>
std::vector<double> myarray;
double myconstant{3.3};
std::transform(myarray.begin(), myarray.end(), myarray.begin(), [&myconstant](auto& c){return c*myconstant;});
If you can use a valarray
instead of a vector
, it has builtin operators for doing a scalar multiplication.
v *= 3;
If you have to use a vector
, you can indeed use transform
to do the job:
transform(v.begin(), v.end(), v.begin(), _1 * 3);
(assuming you have something similar to Boost.Lambda that allows you to easily create anonymous function objects like _1 * 3
:-P)
Yes, using std::transform
:
std::transform(myv1.begin(), myv1.end(), myv1.begin(),
std::bind(std::multiplies<T>(), std::placeholders::_1, 3));
Before C++17 you could use std::bind1st()
, which was deprecated in C++11.
std::transform(myv1.begin(), myv1.end(), myv1.begin(),
std::bind1st(std::multiplies<T>(), 3));
For the placeholders;
#include <functional>
