std::initializer_list

Member functions

initializer_list::initializer_list

Capacity

initializer_list::size

Iterators

initializer_list::begin

initializer_list::end

Non-member functions

std::begin

std::end

 

Defined in header <initializer_list>
template< class E > const E* begin( std::initializer_list<E> il ) noexcept;		(since C++11) (until C++14)
template< class E > constexpr const E* begin( std::initializer_list<E> il ) noexcept;		(since C++14)

The overload of std::begin for initializer_list returns a pointer to the first element of il.

Parameters

il

-

an initializer_list

Return value

il.begin()

Example

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <algorithm>
#include <initializer_list>
 
int main() 
{
    std::initializer_list il = {3, 1, 4, 1};
 
    std::copy(std::begin(il),
              std::end(il),
              std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, "\n"));
}

Output:

3
1
4
1
