I see std::plus<T>, but where is std::assign<T>

[jabbah]

hi,

i find a std::plus<T> but what if i just want to assign all elements in my container a certain value. Im thinking of something along the lines of

std::list<double> List;
std::for_each( 
  List.begin(), 
  List.end(), 
  std::bind2nd( std::assign<double>(), 0.0 )
);

but obviously there is no such thing as std::assign<T>

any tips?

Nothing prevents you from coding your own assing<T> adapable functor.

Or you could write an iterator for your List and use transform<>.

You can just use std::fill

yes, i could write my own. i was just wondering why there is none and whether i should take that as an indicator to look for another "stl way" of proceeding.

using transform, i would end up with

transform( 
  List.begin(), 
  List.end(), 
  std::bind2nd( std::assign<double>(), 0.0 )
);

wouldnt i?

ahh std::fill didnt see that.

thanks to you both.
