Iterator
Stream iterators allow for use of iterators with ostreams and istreams. They allow generic algorithms to be used directly on streams.

#include <ostream> template <class T, class charT, class traits = char_traits<charT> > class ostream_iterator : public iterator<output_iterator_tag,void,void>;
Stream iterators use the standard iterator interface for input and output streams.
The class ostream_iterator writes elements to an output stream. If you use the constructor that has a second char * argument, then that string is written after every element (the string must be null-terminated). Since an ostream iterator is an output iterator, it is not possible to get an element out of the iterator. You can only assign to it.
template <class T, class charT, class traits = char_traits<charT> > class ostream_iterator : public iterator<output_iterator_tag,void,void> { public:
typedef T value_type; typedef charT char_type; typedef traits traits_type; typedef basic_ostream<charT,traits> ostream_type;
ostream_iterator(ostream&); ostream_iterator (ostream&, const char*); ostream_iterator (const ostream_iterator<T,charT,char_traits<charT> >&); ~ostream_itertor (); ostream_iterator<T,charT,char_traits<charT> >& operator=(const T&); ostream_iterator<T,charT,char_traits<charT> >& operator* () const; ostream_iterator<T,charT,char_traits<charT> >& operator++ (); ostream_iterator<T,charT,char_traits<charT> > operator++ (int); };
value_type;
Type of value to stream in.
char_type;
Type of character the stream is built on.
traits_type;
Traits used to build the stream.
ostream_type;
Type of stream this iterator is constructed on.
ostream_iterator (ostream& s);
Constructs an ostream_iterator on the given stream.
ostream_iterator (ostream& s, const char* delimiter);
Constructs an ostream_iterator on the given stream. The null terminated string delimiter is written to the stream after every element.
ostream_iterator (const ostream_iterator<T>& x);
Copy constructor.
~ostream_iterator ();
Destroys an object of class ostream_iterator.
const T&
operator= (const T& value);
Shift the value T onto the output stream.
const T& ostream_iterator<T>& operator* (); ostream_iterator<T>& operator++(); ostream_iterator<T> operator++ (int);
These operators do nothing. They simply allow the iterator to be used in common constructs.
#include <iterator> #include <numeric> #include <deque> #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main () { // // Initialize a vector using an array. // int arr[4] = { 3,4,7,8 }; int total=0; deque<int> d(arr+0, arr+4); // // stream the whole vector and a sum to cout // copy(d.begin(),d.end()-1, ostream_iterator<int,char>(cout," + ")); cout << *(d.end()-1) << " = " << accumulate(d.begin(),d.end(),total) << endl; return 0; }
If your compiler does not support default template parameters, then you always need to supply the Allocator template argument. For instance, you need to write:
deque<int, allocator<int> >
instead of:
deque<int>
If your compiler does not support namespaces, then you do not need the using declaration for std.
