Returning iterator of a Vec in a RefCell

You cannot do this because it would allow you to circumvent runtime checks for uniqueness violations. RefCell provides you a way to “defer” mutability exclusiveness checks to runtime, in exchange allowing mutation of the data it holds inside through shared references. This is done using RAII guards: you can obtain a guard object using a … Read more

iterator for 2d vector

Although your question is not very clear, I’m going to assume you mean a 2D vector to mean a vector of vectors: vector< vector<int> > vvi; Then you need to use two iterators to traverse it, the first the iterator of the “rows”, the second the iterators of the “columns” in that “row”: //assuming you … Read more

Contiguous iterator detection

Original answer The rationale is given in N4284, which is the adopted version of the contiguous iterators proposal: This paper introduces the term “contiguous iterator” as a refinement of random-access iterator, without introducing a corresponding contiguous_iterator_tag, which was found to break code during the Issaquah discussions of Nevin Liber’s paper N3884 “Contiguous Iterators: A Refinement … Read more

How do I re-map python dict keys

name_map = {‘oldcol1’: ‘newcol1’, ‘oldcol2’: ‘newcol2’, ‘oldcol3’: ‘newcol3’…} for row in rows: # Each row is a dict of the form: {‘oldcol1’: ‘…’, ‘oldcol2’: ‘…’} row = dict((name_map[name], val) for name, val in row.iteritems()) … Or in Python2.7+ with Dict Comprehensions: for row in rows: row = {name_map[name]: val for name, val in row.items()}
