Was surprised at the results of these tests. I thought they would be the same. But using range-based for() loop is much faster than std::transform().
- loop #1: 80 milliseconds
- loop #2: 120 milliseconds
{
return std::tolower(c);
});

#if 1
// loop #1
for (auto & c : str)
{
c = std::tolower(c);
}
#else
// loop #2
std::transform(str.begin(), str.end(), str.begin(),
[](unsigned char c)
{
return std::tolower(c);
});
#endif")
My biggest contribution to C++ these days seems to be to provide slide background photos, while people like @DanielaKEngert do the hard work of going to conferences and giving talks. :)
