std::fill

template< class ForwardIt, class T >
void fill( ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last, const T& value );

template< class ForwardIt, class T >
constexpr void fill( ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last, const T& value );

template< class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIt, class T >
void fill( ExecutionPolicy&& policy, ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last, const T& value );

Parameters

Return value

(none).

Complexity

Exactly last - first assignments.

Exceptions

The overload with a template parameter named ExecutionPolicy reports errors as follows:

• If execution of a function invoked as part of the algorithm throws an exception and ExecutionPolicy is one of the three standard policies, std::terminate is called. For any other ExecutionPolicy, the behavior is implementation-defined.
• If the algorithm fails to allocate memory, std::bad_alloc is thrown.

Possible implementation

template< class ForwardIt, class T >
void fill(ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last, const T& value)
{
    for (; first != last; ++first) {
        *first = value;
    }
}

Example

#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    std::vector<int> v{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9};
 
    std::fill(v.begin(), v.end(), -1);
 
    for (auto elem : v) {
        std::cout << elem << " ";
    }
    std::cout << "\n";
}
