# std::exclusive_scan

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | algorithm

Defined in header `<numeric>` |  |
template< class InputIt, class OutputIt, class T > OutputIt exclusive_scan( InputIt first, InputIt last, OutputIt d_first, T init ); | (1) | (since C++17)
template< class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIt1, class ForwardIt2, class T > ForwardIt2 exclusive_scan( ExecutionPolicy&& policy, ForwardIt1 first, ForwardIt1 last, ForwardIt2 d_first, T init); | (2) | (since C++17)
template< class InputIt, class OutputIt, class T, class BinaryOperation > OutputIt exclusive_scan( InputIt first, InputIt last, OutputIt d_first, T init, BinaryOperation binary_op ); | (3) | (since C++17)
template< class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIt1, class ForwardIt2, class T, class BinaryOperation > ForwardIt2 exclusive_scan( ExecutionPolicy&& policy, ForwardIt1 first, ForwardIt1 last, ForwardIt2 d_first, T init, BinaryOperation binary_op ); | (4) | (since C++17)

Computes an exclusive prefix sum operation using `binary_op` (or std::plus<>() for overloads (1-2)) for the range `[first, last)`, using `init` as the initial value, and writes the results to the range beginning at `d_first`. "exclusive" means that the i-th input element is not included in the i-th sum.

Formally, assigns through each iterator `i` in [d_first, d_first + (last - first)) the value of the generalized noncommutative sum of `init, *j...` for every `j` in [first, first + (i - d_first)) over `binary_op`,

where generalized noncommutative sum GNSUM(op, a
1, ..., a
N) is defined as follows:

- if N=1, a
  1
- if N > 1, op(GNSUM(op, a
  1, ..., a
  K), GNSUM(op, a
  M, ..., a
  N)) for any K where 1 < K+1 = M ≤ N

In other words, the summation operations may be performed in arbitrary order, and the behavior is nondeterministic if `binary_op` is not associative.

Overloads (2,4) are executed according to `policy`. This overload only participates in overload resolution if std::is_execution_policy_v<std::decay_t<ExecutionPolicy>> is true.

`binary_op` shall not invalidate iterators (including the end iterators) or subranges, nor modify elements in the ranges [first, last) or [d_first, d_first + (last - first)). Otherwise, the behavior is undefined.

### [edit] Parameters

first, last | - | the range of elements to sum
d_first | - | the beginning of the destination range; may be equal to `first`
policy | - | the execution policy to use. See execution policy for details.
init | - | the initial value
binary_op | - | binary `FunctionObject` that will be applied in to the result of dereferencing the input iterators, the results of other `binary_op`, and `init`.
Type requirements
- `InputIt` must meet the requirements of `InputIterator`.
- `OutputIt` must meet the requirements of `OutputIterator`.
- `ForwardIt1, ForwardIt2` must meet the requirements of `ForwardIterator`.
- `T` must meet the requirements of `MoveConstructible`. and `binary_op(init, *first)`, `binary_op(init, init)`, and `binary_op(*first, *first)` must be convertible to `T`

### [edit] Return value

Iterator to the element past the last element written.

### [edit] Complexity

O(last - first) applications of the binary operation

### [edit] Exceptions

The overloads with a template parameter named `ExecutionPolicy` report errors as follows:

- If execution of a function invoked as part of the algorithm throws an exception and `ExecutionPolicy` is one of the three standard policies, std::terminate is called. For any other `ExecutionPolicy`, the behavior is implementation-defined.
- If the algorithm fails to allocate memory, std::bad_alloc is thrown.
