template< ranges::input_range V, std::copy_constructible F > requires ranges::view<V> and std::is_object_v<F> and std::regular_invocable<F&, ranges::range_reference_t<V>> and /* invoke_result_t<F&, range_reference_t<V>>& is a valid type */ class transform_view : public ranges::view_interface<transform_view<V, F>> | (1) | (since C++20)

Call signature |  |
template< ranges::viewable_range R, class F > requires /* see below */ constexpr ranges::view auto transform( R&& r, F&& fun ); |  | (since C++20)
template< class F > constexpr /*range adaptor closure*/ transform( F&& fun ); |  | (since C++20)

1) A range adaptor that represents `view` of an underlying sequence after applying a transformation function to each element.
2) RangeAdaptorObject. The expression views::transform(e, f) is expression-equivalent to transform_view(e, f) for any suitable subexpressions e and f.

`transform_view` models the concepts `random_access_range`, `bidirectional_range`, `forward_range`, `input_range`, `common_range`, and `sized_range` when the underlying view `V` models respective concepts.

### Member functions

(constructor) (C++20) | constructs a `transform_view` (public member function)
base (C++20) | returns a copy of the underlying (adapted) view (public member function)
begin (C++20) | returns an iterator to the beginning (public member function)
end (C++20) | returns an iterator or a sentinel to the end (public member function)
size (C++20) | 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>`)

### Deduction guides

### Nested classes

iterator (C++20) | the iterator type (exposition-only member class template*)
sentinel (C++20) | the sentinel type (exposition-only member class template*)

### Example

Run this code

    #include <algorithm>
    #include <cstdio>
    #include <iterator>
    #include <ranges>
    #include <string>

    char rot13a(const char x, const char a)
    {
        return a + (x - a + 13) % 26;
    }

    char rot13(const char x)
    {
        if ('Z' >= x and x >= 'A')
            return rot13a(x, 'A');

        if ('z' >= x and x >= 'a')
            return rot13a(x, 'a');

        return x;
    }

    int main()
    {
        auto show = [](const unsigned char x) { std::putchar(x); };

        std::string in{ "cppreference.com\n" };
        std::ranges::for_each(in, show);
        std::ranges::for_each(in | std::views::transform(rot13), show);

        std::string out;
        std::ranges::copy(std::views::transform(in, rot13), std::back_inserter(out));
        std::ranges::for_each(out, show);
        std::ranges::for_each(out | std::views::transform(rot13), show);
    }
