Explanation
Fills a range with a specified value.
Real-World Scenario
Initialize an array of scores to zero in a game.
Quick Snippet

std::fill(vec.begin(), vec.end(), 0);Full Example
fill.cpp
// CodeNebula - C++98 Example: fill
// Compile: g++ -std=c++98 -Wall -Wextra -o example fill.cpp
// std::fill assigns a given value to every element in [first, last).
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
void print_vec(const char* label, const std::vector<int>& v) {
std::cout << label;
for (std::vector<int>::const_iterator it = v.begin(); it != v.end(); ++it) {
std::cout << *it << " ";
}
std::cout << std::endl;
}
int main() {
// Fill an entire vector with a value
std::vector<int> v(8);
std::fill(v.begin(), v.end(), 42);
print_vec("Filled with 42: ", v);
// Fill only a sub-range
std::fill(v.begin() + 2, v.begin() + 6, 0);
print_vec("Middle zeroed: ", v);
// Fill a plain array
int arr[5];
std::fill(arr, arr + 5, -1);
std::cout << "Array filled: ";
for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
std::cout << arr[i] << " ";
}
std::cout << std::endl;
return 0;
}
// Expected output:
// Filled with 42: 42 42 42 42 42 42 42 42
// Middle zeroed: 42 42 0 0 0 0 42 42
// Array filled: -1 -1 -1 -1 -1
