geometric_sequence

template<typename T>
impl-dfn-deferred-range geometric_sequence(T start, T ratio);

Creates a deferred sequence of infinite size. As the name implies, the sequence is an geometric sequence.

Parameters

  • start - the first element of the sequence.
  • ratio - the ratio of the two consecutive elements.

Each consecutive element is computed using the formula

int next = current * ratio; //initially current is start.

Return

A deferred-range of infinite size. Since the returned range is an infinite range, it can be used with take() or take_while() processor-pipe.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <foam/composition/pipeline.h>

int main()
{
    using namespace foam::composition;

    auto numbers = geometric_sequence(3,2)  //infinite sequence!
                 | take(5);                 //take first 5 elements

    for(int i : numbers)
        std::cout << i << " ";
}

Output

3 6 12 24 48
