Deduction guides(C++17)

 

void fill( const T& value );		(since C++11) (until C++20)
constexpr void fill( const T& value );		(since C++20)

Assigns the given value value to all elements in the container.

Parameters

value

-

the value to assign to the elements

Return value

(none)

Complexity

Linear in the size of the container.

Example

Run this code

#include <array>
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
 
int main()
{
    constexpr int xy = 4;
 
    using Cell = std::array<unsigned char, 8>;
 
    std::array<Cell, xy * xy> board;
 
    board.fill({ {0xE2, 0x96, 0x84, 0xE2, 0x96, 0x80, 0, 0} }); // "▄▀";
 
    std::for_each(board.cbegin(), board.cend(), [xy, O=1](const auto& c) mutable
    {
        std::cout << c.data() << ((O++ % xy) ? "" : "\n");
    });
}

Output:

▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀
▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀
▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀
▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀
