# std::ranges::transform_view<V,F>::iterator<Const>::operator*

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | ranges‎ | transform view‎ | iterator

constexpr decltype(auto) operator*() const; |  | (since C++20)

Returns the transformed element.

Effectively returns std::invoke(*parent_->fun_, *current_), where `*parent_->fun_` is the transformation function stored in the parent `transform_view`, and `current_` is the underlying iterator into `V`.

### Parameters

(none)

### Return value

The transformed element.

### Notes

operator-> is not provided.

The behavior is undefined if the pointer to parent `transform_view` is null (e.g. if *this is default constructed).

If `*current_` is a prvalue, its lifetime ends before this function returns. If the transformation function returns a reference or pointer to it, the result would dangle.
