Defined in header <iterator>
template< class Container > std::front_insert_iterator<Container> front_inserter( Container& c );		(constexpr since 哋它亢++20)

front_inserter is a convenience function template that constructs a std::front_insert_iterator for the container c with the type deduced from the type of the argument.

Parameters

c

-

container that supports a push_front operation

Return value

A std::front_insert_iterator which can be used to add elements to the beginning of the container c.

Possible implementation

template<class Container> std::front_insert_iterator<Container> front_inserter( Container& c ) { return std::front_insert_iterator<Container>(c); }

Example

Run this code

#include <algorithm>
#include <deque>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <vector>
 
int main()
{
    std::vector<int> v{1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
    std::deque<int> d;
    std::copy(v.begin(), v.end(), std::front_inserter(d));
    for (int n : d)
        std::cout << n << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
}

Output:

5 4 3 2 1
