bookHigher Order Functions

Higher-order functions are a fundamental pattern in functional programming, and C++ supports them through its type system and standard library utilities. A higher-order function is any function that either takes one or more functions as arguments, or returns a function as its result. This enables you to write flexible, reusable code by abstracting behavior as parameters. Higher-order functions are widely used in C++ to customize algorithms, manage callbacks, and implement strategies or policies in a generic way.

#include <iostream> #include <functional> #include <string> // A higher-order function that takes a function as a parameter void processString(const std::string& input, const std::function<void(const std::string&)>& func) { // Call the passed-in function with the input string func(input); } // A simple function to print a string in uppercase void printUppercase(const std::string& s) { for (char c : s) std::cout << static_cast<char>(std::toupper(c)); std::cout << std::endl; } int main() { std::string message = "Hello, Higher-Order Functions!"; // Pass printUppercase as a function pointer processString(message, printUppercase); // Pass a lambda that prints the string length processString(message, [](const std::string& s) { std::cout << "Length: " << s.length() << std::endl; }); }

By treating functions as first-class citizens, you can decouple control flow from implementation details, making your code more modular and expressive.
