std::ranges:: views:: keys, std::ranges:: keys_view

From cppreference.com
Ranges library
Range adaptors
Defined in header <ranges>
template < class R >
using keys_view = ranges:: elements_view < R, 0 > ;
(1) (since C++20)
namespace views {

inline constexpr auto keys = ranges :: elements < 0 > ;

}
(2) (since C++20)

Takes a view of tuple-like values (e.g. std::tuple or std::pair ), and produces a view with a value-type of the first element of the adapted view's value-type.

1) An alias for ranges:: elements_view < R, 0 > .
2) RangeAdaptorObject (and also RangeAdaptorClosureObject ). The expression views :: keys ( e ) is expression-equivalent to keys_view < views:: all_t < decltype ( ( e ) ) >> { e } for any suitable subexpression e .

Notes

keys_view can be useful for extracting keys from associative containers, e.g.

std::map<std::string, int> map{{"one", 1}, {"two", 2}};
 
for (auto const& key : std::views::keys(map))
    std::cout << key << ' ';
// prints: one two

Example

Displays values for each type of quark in particle physics.

#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
#include <ranges>
#include <string>
#include <tuple>
#include <vector>
 
int main()
{
    const std::vector<std::tuple<std::string, double, bool>> quark_mass_charge
    {
        // name, MeV/c², has positive electric-charge:
        {"up", 2.3, true}, {"down", 4.8, false},
        {"charm", 1275, true}, {"strange", 95, false},
        {"top", 173'210, true}, {"bottom", 4'180, false},
    };
 
    std::cout.imbue(std::locale("en_US.utf8"));
    std::cout << "Quark name:  │ ";
    for (std::string const& name : std::views::keys(quark_mass_charge))
        std::cout << std::setw(9) << name << " │ ";
 
    std::cout << "\n" "Mass MeV/c²: │ ";
    for (const double mass : std::views::values(quark_mass_charge))
        std::cout << std::setw(9) << mass << " │ ";
 
    std::cout << "\n" "E-charge:    │ ";
    for (const bool pos : std::views::elements<2>(quark_mass_charge))
        std::cout << std::setw(9) << (pos ? "+2/3" : "-1/3") << " │ ";
    std::cout << '\n';
}

Output:

Quark name:  │        up │      down │     charm │   strange │       top │    bottom │
Mass MeV/c²: │       2.3 │       4.8 │     1,275 │        95 │   173,210 │     4,180 │
E-charge:    │      +2/3 │      -1/3 │      +2/3 │      -1/3 │      +2/3 │      -1/3 │
