fill

Assigns the same new value to every element in a specified range.

template<class ForwardIterator, class Type> 
   void fill( 
      ForwardIterator _First,  
      ForwardIterator _Last,  
      const Type& _Val 
   );

Parameters

• _First
  A forward iterator addressing the position of the first element in the range to be traversed.

• _Last
  A forward iterator addressing the position one past the final element in the range to be traversed.

• _Val
  The value to be assigned to elements in the range [_First, _Last).

Remarks

The destination range must be valid; all pointers must be dereferenceable, and the last position is reachable from the first by incrementation. The complexity is linear with the size of the range.

Example

// alg_fill.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>

int main( ) 
{
   using namespace std;
   vector <int> v1;
   vector <int>::iterator Iter1;

   int i;
   for ( i = 0 ; i <= 9 ; i++ )
   {
      v1.push_back( 5 * i );
   }
   
   cout << "Vector v1 = ( " ;
   for ( Iter1 = v1.begin( ) ; Iter1 != v1.end( ) ; Iter1++ )
      cout << *Iter1 << " ";
   cout << ")" << endl;

   // Fill the last 5 positions with a value of 2
   fill( v1.begin( ) + 5, v1.end( ), 2 );

   cout << "Modified v1 = ( " ;
   for ( Iter1 = v1.begin( ) ; Iter1 != v1.end( ) ; Iter1++ )
      cout << *Iter1 << " ";
   cout << ")" << endl;
}

Vector v1 = ( 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 )
Modified v1 = ( 0 5 10 15 20 2 2 2 2 2 )
