| are extended with the following functions: |
| </p><pre class="programlisting"> |
| power (x, n); |
| power (x, n, monoid_operation);</pre><p>Returns, in FORTRAN syntax, "<code class="code">x ** n</code>" where |
| <code class="code">n >= 0</code>. In the |
| case of <code class="code">n == 0</code>, returns the identity element for the |
| monoid operation. The two-argument signature uses multiplication (for |
| a true "power" implementation), but addition is supported as well. |
| The operation functor must be associative. |
| </p><p>The <code class="code">iota</code> function wins the award for Extension With the |
| Coolest Name (the name comes from Ken Iverson's APL language.) As |
| described in the <a class="link" href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/iota.html" target="_top">SGI |
| documentation</a>, it "assigns sequentially increasing values to a range. |
| That is, it assigns <code class="code">value</code> to <code class="code">*first</code>, |
| <code class="code">value + 1</code> to<code class="code"> *(first + 1)</code> and so on." |
