template< class T, std::output_iterator<const T&> O >
constexpr O fill_n( O first, std::iter_difference_t<O> n, const T& value );

template< class O, class T = std::iter_value_t<O> >

constexpr O fill_n( O first, std::iter_difference_t<O> n, const T& value );

(since C++26) | |
Assigns the given value to all elements in the range [first, first + n).
The function-like entities described on this page are algorithm function objects (informally known as niebloids), that is:
- Explicit template argument lists cannot be specified when calling any of them.
- None of them are visible to argument-dependent lookup.
- When any of them are found by normal unqualified lookup as the name to the left of the function-call operator, argument-dependent lookup is inhibited.
Parameters
| first | - | the beginning of the range of elements to modify |
| n | - | number of elements to modify |
| value | - | the value to be assigned |
Return value
An output iterator that compares equal to first + n.
Complexity
Exactly n assignments.
Possible implementation
struct fill_n_fn
{
template<class O, class T = std::iter_value_t<O>>
requires std::output_iterator<O, const T&>
constexpr O operator()(O first, std::iter_difference_t<O> n, const T& value) const
{
for (std::iter_difference_t<O> i {}; i != n; ++first, ++i)
*first = value;
return first;
}
};
inline constexpr fill_n_fn fill_n {};

Example
Run this code
#include <algorithm>
#include <complex>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
void println(const auto& v)
{
for (const auto& elem : v)
std::cout << ' ' << elem;
std::cout << '\n';
}
int main()
{
constexpr auto n{8};
std::vector<std::string> v(n, "▓▓░░");
println(v);
std::ranges::fill_n(v.begin(), n, "░░▓▓");
println(v);
std::vector<std::complex<double>> nums{{1, 3}, {2, 2}, {4, 8}};
println(nums);
#ifdef __cpp_lib_algorithm_default_value_type
std::ranges::fill_n(nums.begin(), 2, {4, 2});
#else
std::ranges::fill_n(nums.begin(), 2, std::complex<double>{4, 2});
#endif
println(nums);
}
Output:
▓▓░░ ▓▓░░ ▓▓░░ ▓▓░░ ▓▓░░ ▓▓░░ ▓▓░░ ▓▓░░
░░▓▓ ░░▓▓ ░░▓▓ ░░▓▓ ░░▓▓ ░░▓▓ ░░▓▓ ░░▓▓
