Apply a callback to an array

Apply a callback function to each element of an Array

Ruby

 #create the array
 ary = [1,2,3,4,5]
 #create the function (print the square)
 def print_square(i)
   puts i**2
 end
 #ruby
 ary.each do |i|
   print_square(i)
 end
 # prints 1,4,9,16,25

C++

Compiler: GNU Compiler Collection gcc/g++ version 4.1.1

Using c-style array

#include <iostream> //cout for printing
#include <algorithm> //for_each defined here
//create the function (print the square)
void print_square(int i) {
  std::cout << i*i << " ";
}
int main() {
  //create the array
  int ary[]={1,2,3,4,5};
  //stl for_each
  std::for_each(ary,ary+5,print_square);
  return 0;
}
//prints 1 4 9 16 25

Using std::vector

#include <iostream> //cout for printing
#include <algorithm> //for_each defined here
#include <vector> //stl vector class
//create the function (print the square)
void print_square(int i) {
  std::cout << i*i << " ";
}
int main() {
  //create the array
  std::vector<int> ary;
  ary.push_back(1);
  ary.push_back(2);
  ary.push_back(3);
  ary.push_back(4);
  ary.push_back(5);
  //stl for_each
  std::for_each(ary.begin(),ary.end(),print_square);
  return 0;
}
//prints 1 4 9 16 25

More tricky with binary function

#include <iostream> //cout for printing
#include <algorithm> //for_each defined here
#include <vector> //stl vector class
#include <functional> //bind and ptr_fun
//create a binary function (print any two arguments together)
template<class type1,class type2>
void print_juxtaposed(type1 x, type2 y) {
  std::cout << x << y;
}
int main() {
  //create the array
  std::vector<int> ary;
  ary.push_back(1);
  ary.push_back(2);
  ary.push_back(3);
  ary.push_back(4);
  ary.push_back(5);
  //stl for_each, using binder and adaptable unary function
  std::for_each(ary.begin(),ary.end(),std::bind2nd(std::ptr_fun(print_juxtaposed<int,std::string>),"x "));
  return 0;
}
//prints 1x 2x 3x 4x 5x

Python

 def square(n):
   return n * n
 
 numbers = [1, 3, 5, 7]
 squares1 = [square(n) for n in numbers] # list comprehension
 squares2 = map(square, numbers)
