=====assign===== Syntax:


    #include 
    void assign( size_type num, const TYPE& val );
    void assign( input_iterator start, input_iterator end );

The assign() function either gives the current vector the values from ''start'' to ''end'', or gives it ''num'' copies of ''val''. This function will destroy the previous contents of the vector. For example, the following code uses assign() to put 10 copies of the integer 42 into a vector:


   vector v;
   v.assign( 10, 42 );
   for( vector::size_type i = 0; i < v.size(); i++ ) {
     cout << v[i] << " ";
   }
   cout << endl;

The above code displays the following output: 42 42 42 42 42 42 42 42 42 42 The next example shows how assign() can be used to copy one vector to another:


   vector v1;
   for( int i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
     v1.push_back( i );
   }

   vector v2;
   v2.assign( v1.begin(), v1.end() );

   for( vector::size_type i = 0; i < v2.size(); i++ ) {
     cout << v2[i] << " ";
   }
   cout << endl;

When run, the above code displays the following output: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Related Topics: [[insert]], [[push_back]], [[vector_operators|[] operator]]
