template< ranges::forward_range V >     requires ranges::view<V> class slide_view     : public ranges::view_interface<slide_view<V>>	(1)	(since C++23)
namespace views {     inline constexpr /* unspecified */ slide = /* unspecified */; }	(2)	(since C++23)
Call signature
template< ranges::viewable_range R > constexpr ranges::view auto slide( R&& r, ranges::range_difference_t<R> n );		(since C++23)

Helper concepts
template< class V > concept __slide_caches_nothing =     ranges::random_access_range<V> && ranges::sized_range<V>;	(3)	(exposition only*)
template< class V > concept __slide_caches_last =     !__slide_caches_nothing<V> &&     ranges::bidirectional_range<V> && ranges::common_range<V>;	(4)	(exposition only*)
template< class V > concept __slide_caches_first =     !__slide_caches_nothing<V> && !__slide_caches_last<V>;	(5)	(exposition only*)

1) slide_view is a range adaptor that takes a view and a number n and produces a view whose m ^th element (a "window") is a view over the m ^th through (m + n - 1) ^th elements of the original view.

Let s be the size of the original view. Then the size of produced view is:

• s - n + 1, if s >= n,
• ​0​ otherwise, and the resulting view is empty.

2) The name views::slide denotes a RangeAdaptorObject. Given subexpressions e and n, the expression views::slide(e, n) is expression-equivalent to slide_view(e, n).

If n is not greater than ​0​, the behavior is undefined.

slide_view always models forward_range, and models bidirectional_range, random_access_range, or sized_range if adapted view type models the corresponding concept.

Data members

Member object	Definition
base_ (private)	The underlying view of type V. (exposition-only member object*)
n_ (private)	The "window size" of type ranges::range_difference_t<V>. (exposition-only member object*)
cached_begin_ (private) (optional)	An optional-like object. Present only if V models the __slide_caches_first (4). (exposition-only member object*)
cached_end_ (private) (optional)	An optional-like object. Present only if V models the __slide_caches_last (5). (exposition-only member object*)

Member functions

(constructor) (C++23)	constructs a slide_view (public member function)
begin (C++23)	returns an iterator to the beginning (public member function)
end (C++23)	returns an iterator or a sentinel to the end (public member function)
size (C++23)	returns the number of elements. Provided only if the underlying (adapted) range satisfies sized_range. (public member function)
Inherited from std::ranges::view_interface
empty (C++20)	returns whether the derived view is empty. Provided if it satisfies sized_range or forward_range. (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)
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 (C++20)	returns whether the derived view is not empty. Provided if ranges::empty is applicable to it. (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)
front (C++20)	returns the first element in the derived view. Provided if it satisfies forward_range. (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)
back (C++20)	returns the last element in the derived view. Provided if it satisfies bidirectional_range and common_range. (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)
operator[] (C++20)	returns the nth element in the derived view. Provided if it satisfies random_access_range. (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)

Nested classes

iterator (C++23)	the iterator type (exposition-only member class template*)
sentinel (C++23)	the sentinel type used when slide_view is not a common_range (exposition-only member class template*)

Helper templates

template< class V > inline constexpr bool ranges::enable_borrowed_range<slide_view<V>> =     ranges::enable_borrowed_range<V>;		(since C++23)

This specialization of ranges::enable_borrowed_range makes slide_view satisfy borrowed_range when the underlying view satisfies it.

Notes

There are similarities between ranges::adjacent_view and ranges::slide_view:

• Both create a "sliding window" of size N.
• Both have the same size S - N + 1, where S is the size of an adapted view such that S >= N > 0.

The differences between these adapters are:

View adaptor	value_type	The window size N
ranges::adjacent_view	A std::tuple object	A template parameter
ranges::slide_view	A range	A runtime parameter

Example

Run this code

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <ranges>
 
auto print_subrange = [](std::ranges::viewable_range auto&& r)
{
    std::cout << '[';
    for (char space[]{0,0}; auto elem : r)
        std::cout << space << elem, *space = ' ';
    std::cout << "] ";
};
 
int main()
{
    const auto v = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};
 
    std::cout << "All sliding windows of width:\n";
    for (const unsigned width : std::views::iota(1U, 1U + v.size()))
    {
        auto const windows = v | std::views::slide(width);
        std::cout << "W = " << width << ": ";
        std::ranges::for_each(windows, print_subrange);
        std::cout << '\n';
    }
}

Output:

All sliding windows of width W:
W = 1: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] 
W = 2: [1 2] [2 3] [3 4] [4 5] [5 6] 
W = 3: [1 2 3] [2 3 4] [3 4 5] [4 5 6] 
W = 4: [1 2 3 4] [2 3 4 5] [3 4 5 6] 
W = 5: [1 2 3 4 5] [2 3 4 5 6] 
W = 6: [1 2 3 4 5 6]
