Lambdas are unnamed mini functions that allow developers to write more expressive and succinct code, especially when paired with the STL. Troy explains the goodness of lambdas in this video.
- [Instructor] A lambda expression…is an unnamed function object.…Use a lambda to write a local function of limited use.…You can also use lambdas for complex initializations.…Always prefer a lambda expression to an std::bind.…So in this sample, we have just a few things going on here.…First off, we have an enum that's giving us our…Battle Condition that's red, yellow, green.…We have a very small function called print_it…that's just going to take some output and print it out.…
Then we have a vector of ints,…just some random numbers,…and we're going to go through and do a for each on this,…and you notice, that if we're to use std::bind,…here's how we would use it as a function object generator…so that we could send print it to for each.…And it's a little bit clunky, a little bit overly bloated…and we have our function here and our use of it right here.…Now for the same thing, doing the exact same piece of code,…if we're going to do a lambda,…we could just put the lambda here in line in the function.…
Now this is perfect when you have a lambda…
