std::ranges::drop_while_view<V,Pred>::begin

constexpr auto begin();

Returns an iterator to the first element of the view.

Effectively returns ranges::find_if_not(base_, std::cref(pred())), where base_ is the underlying view. The behavior is undefined if *this does not store a predicate.

In order to provide the amortized constant time complexity required by the range concept, this function caches the result within the drop_while_view object for use on subsequent calls.

Parameters

(none).

Return value

Iterator to the first element of the view.

Example

#include <array>
#include <iostream>
#include <ranges>
 
int main()
{
    constexpr std::array data{ 0, -1, -2, 3, 1, 4, 1, 5 };
 
    auto view = std::ranges::drop_while_view{
        data, [](int x) { return x <= 0; }
    };
 
    std::cout << *view.begin() << '\n';
}
