std::fill_n

From cppreference.com
 
 
 
Defined in header <algorithm>
template< class OutputIterator, class Size, class T >

void fill_n( OutputIterator first, Size count, const T& value );
template< class OutputIterator, class Size, class T >

OutputIterator fill_n( OutputIterator first, Size count, const T& value );
(until C++11)

(since C++11)

Assigns the given value value to the first count elements in the range beginning at first if count>0. Does nothing otherwise.

Contents

[edit] Parameters

first - the beginning of the range of elements to modify
count - number of elements to modify
value - the value to be assigned

[edit] Return value

(none) (until C++11)

Iterator one past the last element assigned if count>0, first otherwise. (since C++11)

[edit] Complexity

Exactly count assignments, for count>0.

[edit] Possible implementation

[edit] Example

The following code uses fill_n() to assign -1 to the first half of a vector of integers:

#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    std::vector<int> v1{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9};
 
    std::fill_n(v1.begin(), 5, -1);
 
    for (vector<int>::iterator it = v1.begin(); it != v1.end(); ++it) {
        std::cout << *it << " ";
    }
    std::cout << "\n";
}

Output:

-1 -1 -1 -1 -1 5 6 7 8 9
