| A *view* is a sequence adaptor delivering an altered presentation of |
| one or more underlying sequences. Views are lazy, meaning that their |
| elements are only computed on demand. Similarly to the short-circuit |
| |logical operations| and |eval_if|, views make it possible to avoid |
| premature errors and inefficiencies from computations whose results |
| will never be used. When approached with views in mind, many |
| algorithmic problems can be solved in a simpler, more conceptually |
| precise, more expressive way. |
