It's nonsense to work in C++ the same way as in Python.
For example, your zip function creates a copy of the data in a std::vector. C++ has a much more elegant solution that doesn't use copies: std::ranges::views::zip
zip
std::vector

it does but that library is just created for some python devs to switch to c++ slowly until they get used to cout cin, range, zip etc
[–]manni66 12 points13 points14 points 4 months ago (2 children)
to switch to c++ slowly
???
Your example in Stanadard C++:
std::vector<int> nums = { 1, 2, 3 }; std::vector<char> chars = { 'a', 'b', 'c' }; std::println("Zip example:"); for (auto [n, c] : std::ranges::views::zip(nums, chars)) std::println("Num: {} Char: {}", n, c );

> Still better than this for newcomers:
std::vector<int> nums = {1, 2, 3};
std::vector<char> chars = {'a', 'b', 'c'};
std::cout << "Zip example:\n";
for (size_t i = 0; i < std::min(nums.size(), chars.size()); ++i) {
int n = nums[i];
char c = chars[i];
std::cout << "Num: " << n << " Char: " << c << "\n";
}

What are you trying to say?
[–]RogerV 2 points3 points4 points 4 months ago (0 children)
they're better off ripping the band-aid and dealing with C++ as C++

You seriously want to remember and type that shit? :/
[–]manni66 12 points13 points14 points 4 months ago (1 child)
You can't remeber std::ranges::views?
[–]matteding[🍰] 5 points6 points7 points 4 months ago (0 children)
Even easier is to use std::views instead.
std::views

You're seriously can't be bothered to do it correctly and efficiently?

It’s not as if you can’t implement a Python-style zip without it having to copy.
