accumulate, copy, and vector::push_back

Illustrates how to use the accumulate, copy, and vector::push_back Standard Template Library (STL) functions in Visual C++.

template<class InputIterator, class _TYPE> inline
   _TYPE accumulate(
      InputIterator First, 
      InputIterator Last, 
      _TYPE Init
   )
template<class InputIterator, class _TYPE, class BinaryOperator> inline
   _TYPE accumulate(
      InputIterator First, 
      InputIterator Last, 
      _TYPE Init, 
      BinaryOperator Binary_Op
   )

Remarks

참고

The class/parameter names in the prototype do not match the version in the header file. Some have been modified to improve readability.

The accumulate STL function initializes an accumulator acc with an initial value init and then modifies it with acc = acc + *i or acc = Binary_Op(acc,*i) for every iterator i in the range [First, Last) in order. Normally, the accumulate STL function is used to sum the numeric elements of a vector. However, it can also be used to do other useful work such as concatenating a vector of strings.

Example

// accumulate.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
//
// Description of accumulate(first,last,init)
//                accumulate(first,last,init,binary_op):
//
//    Initializes the accumulator acc with the initial value init
//        acc = init
//    and then modifies it with
//        acc  =  acc + *i
//    or
//        acc = binary_op(acc, *i)
//    for every iterator i in the range [first, last) in order.
