insert_iterator<Container> inserter (Container& x, Inserter i);
Construct an insert iterator
This function generates an insert iterator for a container.
An insert iterator is a special type of output iterator specifically designed to allow algorithms that usually overwrite elements (such as copy) to instead insert new elements in the container.
Parameters
- x
- Container for which the insert iterator is constructed.
- i
- Iterator to the location in x where the element are to be inserted.
Return value
An insert_iterator that inserts elements in the container x at the location pointed by i.
