For the definition of /*indirectly-binary-right-foldable*/, see this page.
Right-folds the elements of the source range, that is, returns the result of evaluation of the chain expression:f(x1, f(x2, ...f(xn, init))), where x1, x2, ..., xn are elements of the source range.
1) The source range is
[first, last).2) The source range is
r.The function-like entities described on this page are algorithm function objects (informally known as niebloids), that is:
- Explicit template argument lists cannot be specified when calling any of them.
- None of them are visible to argument-dependent lookup.
- When any of them are found by normal unqualified lookup as the name to the left of the function-call operator, argument-dependent lookup is inhibited.
Parameters
| first, last | - | the iterator-sentinel pair defining the source range |
| r | - | the source range |
| init | - | the initial value of the fold |
| f | - | the binary function object |
Return value
The right-fold result, which is init if the source range is empty.
Notes
The following table compares all constrained folding algorithms. U below is the fold result type, it is the decayed type of F's result type.

Example
Run this code
#include <algorithm>
#include <complex>
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <ranges>
#include <string>
#include <utility>
#include <vector>
using namespace std::literals;
namespace ranges = std::ranges;
int main()
{
auto v = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8};
std::vector<std::string> vs{"A", "B", "C", "D"};
auto r1 = ranges::fold_right(v.begin(), v.end(), 6, std::plus<>()); // (1)
std::cout << "r1: " << r1 << '\n';
auto r2 = ranges::fold_right(vs, "!"s, std::plus<>()); // (2)
std::cout << "r2: " << r2 << '\n';
// Use a program defined function object (lambda-expression):
std::string r3 = ranges::fold_right
(
v, "A", [](int x, std::string s) { return s + ':' + std::to_string(x); }
);
std::cout << "r3: " << r3 << '\n';
// Get the product of the std::pair::second of all pairs in the vector:
std::vector<std::pair<char, float>> data{{'A', 2.f}, {'B', 3.f}, {'C', 3.5f}};
float r4 = ranges::fold_right
(
data | ranges::views::values, 2.0f, std::multiplies<>()
);
std::cout << "r4: " << r4 << '\n';
using CD = std::complex<double>;
std::vector<CD> nums{{1, 1}, {2, 0}, {3, 0}};
#ifdef __cpp_lib_algorithm_default_value_type
auto r5 = ranges::fold_right(nums, {7, 0}, std::multiplies{});
#else
auto r5 = ranges::fold_right(nums, CD{7, 0}, std::multiplies{});
#endif
std::cout << "r5: " << r5 << '\n';
}
Output:
r1: 42
r2: ABCD!
r3: A:8:7:6:5:4:3:2:1
r4: 42
r5: (42,42)
