Computes an exclusive prefix sum operation using binary_op (or std::plus<>() for overloads (1-2)) for the range [first, last), using init as the initial value, and writes the results to the range beginning at d_first. "exclusive" means that the i-th input element is not included in the i-th sum.

Formally, assigns through each iterator i in [d_first, d_first + (last - first)) the value of the generalized noncommutative sum of init, *j... for every j in [first, first + (i - d_first)) over binary_op,

where generalized noncommutative sum GNSUM(op, a
1
, ..., a
N
) is defined as follows:

  • if N=1, a
    1
  • if N > 1, op(GNSUM(op, a
    1
    , ..., a
    K
    ), GNSUM(op, a
    M
    , ..., a
    N
    )) for any K where 1 < K+1 = M ≤ N

In other words, the summation operations may be performed in arbitrary order, and the behavior is nondeterministic if binary_op is not associative.

Overloads (2,4) are executed according to policy. This overload only participates in overload resolution if std::is_execution_policy_v<std::decay_t<ExecutionPolicy>> is true.

binary_op shall not invalidate iterators (including the end iterators) or subranges, nor modify elements in the ranges [first, last) or [d_first, d_first + (last - first)). Otherwise, the behavior is undefined.

Parameters

first, last - the range of elements to sum
d_first - the beginning of the destination range; may be equal to first
policy - the execution policy to use. See execution policy for details.
init - the initial value
binary_op - binary FunctionObject that will be applied in to the result of dereferencing the input iterators, the results of other binary_op, and init.
Type requirements
-InputIt must meet the requirements of LegacyInputIterator.
-OutputIt must meet the requirements of LegacyOutputIterator.
-ForwardIt1, ForwardIt2 must meet the requirements of LegacyForwardIterator.
-T must meet the requirements of MoveConstructible. and binary_op(init, *first), binary_op(init, init), and binary_op(*first, *first) must be convertible to T

Return value

Iterator to the element past the last element written.

Complexity

O(last - first) applications of the binary operation.

Exceptions

The overloads with a template parameter named ExecutionPolicy report errors as follows:

  • If execution of a function invoked as part of the algorithm throws an exception and ExecutionPolicy is one of the standard policies, std::terminate is called. For any other ExecutionPolicy, the behavior is implementation-defined.
  • If the algorithm fails to allocate memory, std::bad_alloc is thrown.

Example

#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <numeric>
#include <vector>
 
int main()
{
  std::vector data {3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6};
 
  std::cout << "exclusive sum: ";
  std::exclusive_scan(data.begin(), data.end(),
                      std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " "),
                      0);
  std::cout << "\ninclusive sum: ";
  std::inclusive_scan(data.begin(), data.end(),
                      std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " "));
 
  std::cout << "\n\nexclusive product: ";  
  std::exclusive_scan(data.begin(), data.end(),
                      std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " "),
                      1, std::multiplies<>{});                      
  std::cout << "\ninclusive product: ";
  std::inclusive_scan(data.begin(), data.end(),
                      std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " "),
                      std::multiplies<>{});                      
}

Output:

exclusive sum: 0 3 4 8 9 14 23 25 
inclusive sum: 3 4 8 9 14 23 25 31 
 
exclusive product: 1 3 3 12 12 60 540 1080 
inclusive product: 3 3 12 12 60 540 1080 6480
