C++ <list> - assign() Function
The C++ list::assign function is used to assign new values to the list, replacing its old values, and modifying its size if necessary.
Syntax
//range version template <class InputIterator> void assign (InputIterator first, InputIterator last); //fill version void assign (size_type n, const value_type& val);
//range version template <class InputIterator> void assign (InputIterator first, InputIterator last); //fill version void assign (size_type n, const value_type& val); //initializer list version void assign (initializer_list<value_type> ilist);
Parameters
first |
Specify the starting position of InputIterator. The range used by InputIterator is [first,last). |
last |
Specify the last position of InputIterator. The range used by InputIterator is [first,last). |
n |
Specify new size of the list. |
val |
Specify the value to fill the list with. Each of the list will be initialized to a copy of this value. |
ilist |
Specify the initializer_list object. |
Return Value
None.
Time Complexity
Linear i.e, Θ(n)
Example:
In the example below, the list::assign function is used to assign new values to the given list, replacing its old values.
#include <iostream>
#include <list>
using namespace std;
int main (){
list<int> list1;
list<int> list2;
list<int> list3;
list<int>::iterator it;
//using fill version - size 5 with value 10
list1.assign(5, 10);
//using range version
list2.assign(list1.begin(), list1.end());
//using initializer list version
int MyList[] = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50};
list3.assign(MyList, MyList+3);
cout<<"list1 contains: ";
for(it = list1.begin(); it != list1.end(); ++it)
cout<<*it<<" ";
cout<<"\nlist2 contains: ";
for(it = list2.begin(); it != list2.end(); ++it)
cout<<*it<<" ";
cout<<"\nlist3 contains: ";
for(it = list3.begin(); it != list3.end(); ++it)
cout<<*it<<" ";
return 0;
}
The output of the above code will be:
list1 contains: 10 10 10 10 10 list2 contains: 10 10 10 10 10 list3 contains: 10 20 30
