rotate_copy (STL Samples)

Illustrates how to use the rotate_copy Standard Template Library (STL) function in Visual C++.

template<class ForwardIterator, class OutputIterator> inline
   OutputIterator rotate_copy(
      BidirectionalIterator First,
      BidirectionalIterator Middle,
      BidirectionalIterator Last,
      OutputIterator Result
   )

Remarks

Nota

The class/parameter names in the prototype do not match the version in the header file. Some have been modified to improve readability.

The rotate_copy algorithm rotates the elements in the range [First, Last) to the right by n positions (where n = Middle - First), and copies the result into a sequence of the same size, starting at result. It returns an iterator positioned immediately after the last new element in the resulting sequence.

Nota

The OutputIterator should be different from the sequence to be rotated. If they are the same, the result will depend on the implementation.

Example

// rotate_copy.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
// Illustrates how to use the rotate_copy function.
//
// Functions:
//    rotate_copy - Rotate a sequence by n positions, copy the
//                  results to another same sized sequence.

   // rotate the items in the vector Tongue_Twist to the right by
   // 3 positions and copy the results to Rotated_Twister

   // print content of Tongue_Twister
   cout << "Tongue_Twister: " ;

   // print content of Rotated_Twister
   cout << endl << "Now try the rotated Tongue Twister:" ;
   for (it = RTstart; it != RTend; it++)
      cout << " " << *it;
   cout << endl;
}

Output

Before calling rotate_copy:
Try this Tongue Twister: she sells sea shells by the sea shore
After calling rotate_copy:
Tongue_Twister:  she sells sea shells by the sea shore
Now try the rotated Tongue Twister: shells by the sea shore she sells sea
