std::array::fill(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, you're on the std::array::fill(3) page from the C++ Standard Libary — yes, that's the manual name, and yes it's spelled like that, we move 💅.

std::array::fill — std::array::fill. That's it. That's the name. Minimal, iconic, no notes 👑

---

✨ Synopsis ✨

Here's the signature, copied exactly, no cap:

          void fill( const T& value );  (since C++11)
                                        (constexpr since C++20)

What it does: assigns the value to all elements in the container. That's the whole vibe — it's giving "fill every slot, leave no element behind" ✨.

---

🎀 Parameters 🎀

• value — the value to assign to the elements. One parameter, one job, and she's doing it 🫶.

---

💖 Return value 💖

(none). Nothing. Nada. It's not returning anything, bestie — it just does the fill and dips 😌.

---

🦋 Complexity 🦋

Linear in the size of the container. Big container = more steps, small container = quick lil slay, but it's linear either way, periodt 💅.

---

🌈 Example 🌈

Run this code, bestie — it's the exact example from the page:

        // Run this code

        #include <array>
        #include <cstddef>
        #include <iostream>

        int main()
        {
            constexpr std::size_t xy = 4;

            using Cell = std::array<unsigned char, 8>;

            std::array<Cell, xy * xy> board;

            board.fill({0xE2, 0x96, 0x84, 0xE2, 0x96, 0x80, 0, 0}); // "▄▀";

            for (std::size_t count{}; Cell c : board)
                std::cout << c.data() << ((++count % xy) ? "" : "\n");
        }
