split string function

Hi,

I was trying to practice my coding , and found the following code for splitting string and finally use those to convert to integer and get sum of those numbers.

I found the split string is written is complicated way :

Code:


vector<string> split_string(string input_string) {
    string::iterator new_end = unique(input_string.begin(), input_string.end(), [] (const char &x, const char &y) {
        return x == y and x == ' ';
    });


    input_string.erase(new_end, input_string.end());

    while (input_string[input_string.length() - 1] == ' ') {
        input_string.pop_back();
    }

    vector<string> splits;
    char delimiter = ' ';

    size_t i = 0;
    size_t pos = input_string.find(delimiter);

    while (pos != string::npos) {
        splits.push_back(input_string.substr(i, pos - i));

        i = pos + 1;
        pos = input_string.find(delimiter, i);
    }

    splits.push_back(input_string.substr(i, min(pos, input_string.length()) - i + 1));

    return splits;
}

not sure why the" return x == y and x == ' '; " is needed. May be i am not much into stl strings and i need to dig a bit deeper here ?!

thanks
pdk
