How to create a definition for a function with a lambda as an argument, using it in the body of the function?

I want to make a function to fill values in an array according to a condition, that can be specified by a lambda... [&](int n)->int{return n++;} //Something like this... Now, how shall the function fill be defined, so that it can input the lambda as well as alter the values of the array? I am unable to create such a function's definition, so please help! I could make a similar function which used pointer to a function, but I now want to use lambdas... Also, can a lambda be generic? //use template<>?

Its done, finally: Thanks @Glozi30 ! template<typename FX> void Fill(FX f) { for(int i=0;i<5;i++) f(i); } //main: auto f=[](int i){ cout<<i*i<<endl;} Fill(f);

Interesting subject, after 2 minutes on cppreference i got this : #include <vector> #include <iostream> #include <algorithm> #include <functional> int main() { std::vector<int> c { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 }; int x = 5; c.erase(std::remove_if(c.begin(), c.end(), [x](int n) { return n < x; } ), c.end()); std::cout << "c: "; for (auto i: c) { std::cout << i << ' '; } std::cout << '\n'; std::function<int (int)> func = [](int i) {return i+4;}; std::cout << "func: " << func(6) << '\n'; }
