=====generate=====
Syntax:

<code>
    #include <algorithm>
    void generate( forward_iterator start, forward_iterator end, Generator g );
</code>

The generate() function runs the Generator function object g a number of times,
saving the result of each execution in the range [start,end).

For example, the following code uses generate() to fill a vector with random numbers using the [[c/other/rand|standard C library rand function]]:

<code>
    vector<int> v(5);
    generate(v.begin(), v.end(), rand); // Using the C function rand()
    // Depending on the compiler you may need to put &rand instead

    cout << "v: ";
    for (vector<int>::size_type i = 0; i < v.size(); ++i)
        cout << v[i] << ' ';
    cout << endl;
</code>
