Additional Members for Vectors, Lists, and Deques

Vectors, lists, and deques are all sequences, and they all have the methods listed in Table G.3. Again, X is a container type, such as vector<int>, and T is the type stored in the container, such as int, a is a value of type X, t is a value of type X::value_type, i and j are input iterators, q2 and p are iterators, q and q1 are dereferenceable iterators (you can apply the * operator to them), and n is an integer of X::size_type.

Table G.3. Methods Defined for Vectors, Lists, and Deques

Method	Description
a.insert(p,t)	Inserts a copy of t before p; returns an iterator pointing to the inserted copy of t. The default value for t is T(), that is, the value used for type T in the absence of explicit ...
