The zip iterator provides the ability to parallel-iterate
over several controlled sequences simultaneously. A zip
iterator is constructed from a tuple of iterators. Moving
the zip iterator moves all the iterators in parallel.
Dereferencing the zip iterator returns a tuple that contains
the results of dereferencing the individual iterators.</td>

<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id5" id="examples" name="examples">Examples</a></h1>
<p>There are two main types of applications of the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">zip_iterator</span></tt>. The first
one concerns runtime efficiency: If one has several controlled sequences
of the same length that must be somehow processed, e.g., with the
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">for_each</span></tt> algorithm, then it is more efficient to perform just
one parallel-iteration rather than several individual iterations. For an
example, assume that <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">vect_of_doubles</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">vect_of_ints</span></tt>
are two vectors of equal length containing doubles and ints, respectively,
and consider the following two iterations:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
std::vector&lt;double&gt;::const_iterator beg1 = vect_of_doubles.begin();
std::vector&lt;double&gt;::const_iterator end1 = vect_of_doubles.end();
std::vector&lt;int&gt;::const_iterator beg2 = vect_of_ints.begin();
std::vector&lt;int&gt;::const_iterator end2 = vect_of_ints.end();
std::for_each(beg1, end1, func_0());
std::for_each(beg2, end2, func_1());
</pre>
<p>These two iterations can now be replaced with a single one as follows:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
std::for_each(
boost::make_zip_iterator(
boost::make_tuple(beg1, beg2)
),
boost::make_zip_iterator(
boost::make_tuple(end1, end2)
),
zip_func()
);
</pre>
<p>A non-generic implementation of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">zip_func</span></tt> could look as follows:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
struct zip_func :
public std::unary_function&lt;const boost::tuple&lt;const double&amp;, const int&amp;&gt;&amp;, void&gt;
{
void operator()(const boost::tuple&lt;const double&amp;, const int&amp;&gt;&amp; t) const
{
m_f0(t.get&lt;0&gt;());
m_f1(t.get&lt;1&gt;());
}
private:
func_0 m_f0;
func_1 m_f1;
};
</pre>
<p>The second important application of the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">zip_iterator</span></tt> is as a building block
to make combining iterators. A combining iterator is an iterator
that parallel-iterates over several controlled sequences and, upon
dereferencing, returns the result of applying a functor to the values of the
sequences at the respective positions. This can now be achieved by using the
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">zip_iterator</span></tt> in conjunction with the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">transform_iterator</span></tt>.</p>
<p>Suppose, for example, that you have two vectors of doubles, say
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">vect_1</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">vect_2</span></tt>, and you need to expose to a client
a controlled sequence containing the products of the elements of
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">vect_1</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">vect_2</span></tt>. Rather than placing these products
in a third vector, you can use a combining iterator that calculates the
products on the fly. Let us assume that <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">tuple_multiplies</span></tt> is a
functor that works like <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">std::multiplies</span></tt>, except that it takes
its two arguments packaged in a tuple. Then the two iterators
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">it_begin</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">it_end</span></tt> defined below delimit a controlled
sequence containing the products of the elements of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">vect_1</span></tt> and
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">vect_2</span></tt>:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
typedef boost::tuple&lt;
std::vector&lt;double&gt;::const_iterator,
std::vector&lt;double&gt;::const_iterator
&gt; the_iterator_tuple;
typedef boost::zip_iterator&lt;
the_iterator_tuple
&gt; the_zip_iterator;
typedef boost::transform_iterator&lt;
tuple_multiplies&lt;double&gt;,
the_zip_iterator
&gt; the_transform_iterator;
the_transform_iterator it_begin(
the_zip_iterator(
the_iterator_tuple(
vect_1.begin(),
vect_2.begin()
)
),
tuple_multiplies&lt;double&gt;()
);
the_transform_iterator it_end(
the_zip_iterator(
the_iterator_tuple(
vect_1.end(),
vect_2.end()
)
),
tuple_multiplies&lt;double&gt;()
);
</pre>
