I've looked through the list of algorithms and there doesn't appear=

transform() is the closest, but alas works on only a single vector.
There are two versions of transform. One works on a single input rang=
e
and the other works on two input ranges. The latter sounds like just
what you need.

Thanks Pete, hadn't spotted the second version.
I have a simple example working with multiplies<int>()
, but what about an arbitrary functor, how do I declare the arguments?
e.g: (where in1, in2, out, are my 3 vectors)
See:
http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/transform.html
Specifically, your functor must follow this:
http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/BinaryFunction.html
For example:
template <typename T> bool equals (const T &a, const T &b) {
return a == b;
}
void somewhere () {
std::vector<int> x, y;
x.push_back(1);
x.push_back(2);
y.push_back(2);
y.push_back(2);
std::vector<bool> result(x.size());
std::transform(x.begin(), x.end(), y.begin(), result.begi=
n(),
equals<int>);
assert(result[0] == false);
assert(result[1] == true);
}
void pointlessCalc(in1, in2, out)
{
out = (in1 + 1) * (in2 +2);
}
You'd want to return the value:
out pointlessCalc (in1, in2);

Thanks for the example Jason, I wasn't sure whether it was expecting
values, or iterators in to the containers.
