<h3>Prototype</h3>
<pre>
template &lt;class <A href="ForwardIterator.html">ForwardIterator</A>, class T&gt;
void fill(ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last, const T&amp; value); 
</pre>                   
<h3>Description</h3>
<tt>Fill</tt> assigns the value <tt>value</tt> to every element in the range
<tt>[first, last)</tt>.  That is, for every iterator <tt>i</tt> in <tt>[first, last)</tt>,
it performs the assignment <tt>*i = value</tt>.
<h3>Definition</h3>
Declared in <A href="algo.h">algo.h</A>.  The implementation is in <A href="algobase.h">algobase.h</A>.
<h3>Requirements on types</h3>
<UL>
<LI>
<tt>ForwardIterator</tt> is a model of <A href="ForwardIterator.html">Forward Iterator</A>. <A href="#1">[1]</A>
<LI>
<tt>ForwardIterator</tt> is mutable.
<LI>
<tt>T</tt> is a model of <A href="Assignable.html">Assignable</A>.
<LI>
<tt>T</tt> is convertible to <A href="ForwardIterator.html">Forward Iterator</A>'s value type.
</UL>
<h3>Preconditions</h3>
<UL>
<LI>
<tt>[first, last)</tt> is a valid range.
</UL>
<h3>Complexity</h3>
Linear. <tt>Fill</tt> performs exactly <tt>last - first</tt> assignments.
<h3>Example</h3>
<pre>
<A href="Vector.html">vector</A>&lt;double&gt; V(4);
fill(V.begin(), V.end(), 137);
assert(V[0] == 137 &amp;&amp; V[1] == 137 &amp;&amp; V[2] == 137 &amp;&amp; V[3] == 137);
</pre>
<h3>Notes</h3>
<P><A name="1">[1]</A>
The reason that <tt>fill</tt> requires its argument to be a mutable
<A href="ForwardIterator.html">forward iterator</A>, rather than merely an <A href="OutputIterator.html">output iterator</A>, is that 
it uses a range <tt>[first, last)</tt> of iterators.  There is no sensible
way to describe a range of <A href="OutputIterator.html">output iterators</A>, because it is
impossible to compare two <A href="OutputIterator.html">output iterators</A> for equality.
The <tt><A href="fill_n.html">fill_n</A></tt> algorithm does have an interface that permits use of
an <A href="OutputIterator.html">output iterator</A>.
