insert_iterator::insert_iterator

Constructs an insert_iterator that inserts an element into a specified position in a container.

insert_iterator(
   Container& _Cont,
   typename Container::iterator _It
);

Parameters

• _Cont
  The container into which the insert_iterator is to insert elements.

• _It
  The position for the insertion.

Remarks

All containers have the insert member function called by the insert_iterator. For associative containers the position parameter is merely a suggestion. The inserter function provides a convenient way to insert to values.

Example

// insert_iterator_insert_iterator.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <iterator>
#include <list>
#include <iostream>


int main( )
{
   using namespace std;
   int i;
   list <int>::iterator L_Iter;

   list<int> L;
   for (i = 1 ; i < 4 ; ++i )  
   {
      L.push_back ( 10 * i );
   }

   cout << "The list L is:\n ( ";
   for ( L_Iter = L.begin( ) ; L_Iter != L.end( ); L_Iter++)
      cout << *L_Iter << " ";
   cout << ")." << endl;

   // Using the member function to insert an element
   inserter ( L, L.begin ( ) ) = 2;

   // Alternatively, you may use the template version
   insert_iterator< list < int> > Iter(L, L.end ( ) );
   *Iter = 300;

   cout << "After the insertions, the list L is:\n ( ";
   for ( L_Iter = L.begin( ) ; L_Iter != L.end( ); L_Iter++ )
      cout << *L_Iter << " ";
   cout << ")." << endl;
}

The list L is:
 ( 10 20 30 ).
After the insertions, the list L is:
 ( 2 10 20 30 300 ).
