std::ranges::views::values, std::ranges::values_view

Defined in header <ranges> 
template< class R >
using values_view = ranges::elements_view<R, 1>;
 (1) (since C++20) 
namespace views {
    inline constexpr auto values = ranges::elements<1>;
}
 (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 second element of the adapted view's value-type.

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

Notes

values_view can be useful for extracting values from associative containers, e.g.

std::map<int, std::string> map{{1, "alpha"}, {2, "beta"}};
for (auto const& value : std::views::values(map))
    std::cout << value << ' ';
// prints: alpha beta

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <map>
#include <ranges>
 
int main()
{
    const auto list = {std::pair{1, 11.1}, {2, 22.2}, {3, 33.3}};
    std::cout << "pair::second values in the list: ";
    for (double value : list | std::views::values)
        std::cout << value << ' ';
 
    std::map<char, int> map{{'A', 1}, {'B', 2}, {'C', 3}, {'D', 4}, {'E', 5}};
    auto odd = [](int x) { return 0 != (x & 1); };
    std::cout << "\nodd values in the map: ";
    for (int value : map | std::views::values | std::views::filter(odd))
        std::cout << value << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
}

Output:

pair::second values in the list: 11.1 22.2 33.3
odd values in the map: 1 3 5
