C++ Vector Library - operator=() Function



Description

The C++ function std::vector::operator=() assign new contents to the vector by replacing old ones and modifies size if necessary.

Declaration

Following is the declaration for std::vector::operator=() function form std::vector header.

C++98

C++11

vector& operator = (const vector& x);

Parameters

x − another vector object of same type

Return value

Returns this pointer

Linear i.e. O(n)

Example

The following example shows the usage of std::vector::operator=() function.

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

int main(void) {
   vector<int> v1 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
   vector<int> v2;

  /* assignment operator */
   v2 = v1;

   for (int i = 0; i < v2.size(); ++i)
      cout << v2[i] << endl;

   return 0;
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
