Inserts the given value value to the container.

1) Results in container->push_back(value)
2) Results in container->push_back(std::move(value))

Parameters

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <deque>
 
int main()
{
    std::deque<int> q;
    std::back_insert_iterator< std::deque<int> > it(q);
 
    for (int i=0; i<10; ++i)
        it = i; // calls q.push_back(i)
 
    for (auto& elem : q) std::cout << elem << ' ';
}

Output:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
