Required Header

   <deque>

Prototype

   iterator insert(iterator iter, const T& x = T());
   void insert(iterator iter, size_type n, const T& x);
   void insert(iterator iter, const_iterator first,const_iterator last);
				
NOTE: The class/parameter names in the prototype may not match the version in the header file. Some have been modified to improve readability.

Description

Each of these functions inserts a sequence specified by the remaining operands after the element pointed to by iter in the container. The first member function inserts a single element with value x and returns an iterator that points to the newly inserted element. The second member function inserts a repetition of n elements of value x. The third member function inserts the sequence [first, last).

Sample Code

NOTE: In the first line of the sample code section, /GX is equivalent to /EHsc in Visual C++ .NET or Visual C++ 2005 and is set by default.

    print_contents (a);

    //insert 'Y' to the end of a
    a.insert(a.end(),'Y');
    print_contents (a);

    //inset 3 'Z's to one item before the end of a
    a.insert(a.end()-1,3,'Z');
    print_contents (a);

    //insert to the end of a from b
    a.insert(a.end(),b.begin(),b.end());
    print_contents (a);

}

//function to print the contents of deque
void print_contents (CHARDEQUE  deque)

{

    CHARDEQUE::iterator pdeque;

    cout <<"The output is: ";

    for(pdeque = deque.begin();
        pdeque != deque.end();
        pdeque++)
    {
        cout << *pdeque <<" " ;
    }
        cout<<endl;

}
				
Program Output is:
The output is: A A A
The output is: B B
The output is: X A A A
The output is: X A A A Y
The output is: X A A A Z Z Z Y
The output is: X A A A Z Z Z Y B B
