std::fill

Defined in header <algorithm>
template< class ForwardIt, class T >
void fill( ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last, const T& value );
(1)
template< class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIt, class T >
void fill( ExecutionPolicy&& policy, ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last, const T& value );
(2) (since C++17)
1) Assigns the given value to the elements in the range [first, last).
2) Same as (1), but executed according to policy. This overload does not participate in overload resolution unless std::is_execution_policy_v<std::decay_t<ExecutionPolicy>> is true

Parameters

first, last - the range of elements to modify
value - the value to be assigned
policy - the execution policy to use. See execution policy for details.
Type requirements
- ForwardIt must meet the requirements of ForwardIterator.

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, std::terminate is called.
  • 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

The following code uses fill() to set all of the elements of a vector of integers to -1:

#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";
}

Output:

-1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1
