The C++ function std::algorithm::copy() copies a range of elements to a new location.
DeclarationFollowing is the declaration for std::algorithm::copy() function form std::algorithm header.
C++98template <class InputIterator, class OutputIterator> OutputIterator copy (InputIterator first, InputIterator last, OutputIterator result);Parameters
first − Input iterators to the initial positions in a sequence.
last − Input iterators to the final positions in a sequence.
result − Output iterator to the initial position in the new sequence.
Returns an iterator to the end of the destination range where elements have been copied.
ExceptionsThrows an exception if either element assignment or an operation on an iterator throws exception.
Please note that invalid parameters cause undefined behavior.
Time complexityLinear in the distance between first to last.
ExampleThe following example shows the usage of std::algorithm::copy() function.
#include <iostream> #include <vector> #include <algorithm> using namespace std; int main(void) { vector<int> v1 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; vector<int> v2(5); copy(v1.begin(), v1.end(), v2.begin()); cout << "Vector v2 contains following elements" << endl; for (auto it = v2.begin(); it != v2.end(); ++it) cout << *it << endl; return 0; }
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Vector v2 contains following elements 1 2 3 4 5
