#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

int main() {
    // Before C++20: using traditional loops
    std::vector<int> numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
    for (size_t i = 0; i < numbers.size(); ++i) {
        std::cout << numbers[i] << " ";
    }

    // After C++20: using ranges and algorithms
    #include <ranges>
    auto output = numbers | std::views::transform([](int n) { return n * 2; });

    for (int n : output) {
        std::cout << n << " ";
    }
}
