constexpr insert_iterator<Container>&     operator=( typename Container::value_type&& value );				(since C++20)

Inserts the given value value to the container.

1) Results in iter = container->insert(iter, value); ++iter;.

2) Results in iter = container->insert(iter, std::move(value)); ++iter;.

Parameters

value

-

the value to insert

Return value

*this

Notes

This function exploits the signature compatibility between hinted insert for associative containers (such as std::set::insert) and positional insert for sequential containers (such as std::vector::insert).

Example

Run this code

#include <deque>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
 
int main()
{
    std::deque<int> q;
    std::insert_iterator<std::deque<int>> it(q, q.begin());
 
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
        it = i; // inserts i
 
    for (auto& elem : q)
        std::cout << elem << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
}

Output:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
