How to fill a vector with non-trivial initial values?

Question

I know how to fill an std::vector with non-trivial initial values, e.g. sequence numbers:

void IndexArray( unsigned int length, std::vector&a         


        

Answer 1

I know this has already been answered, but I prefer the "fill" function in the algorithm library, since it's seems more intuitive for me to read:

// fill algorithm example
#include 
#include 
#include 
using namespace std;

int main () {
  vector myvector (8);                       // myvector: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

  fill (myvector.begin(),myvector.begin()+4,5);   // myvector: 5 5 5 5 0 0 0 0
  fill (myvector.begin()+3,myvector.end()-2,8);   // myvector: 5 5 5 8 8 8 0 0

  cout << "myvector contains:";
  for (vector::iterator it=myvector.begin(); it!=myvector.end(); ++it)
    cout << " " << *it;

  cout << endl;

  return 0;
}

This too was also shamelessly lifted from cplusplusreference.
