Description

The C++ function std::forward_list::operator= assigns new contents to the forward_list by replacing old ones. It modifies size of the forward_list if necessary.

Declaration

Following is the declaration for std::forward_list::operator= function form std::forward_list header.

C++11

forward_list& operator= (const forward_list& other);

Parameters

other − another forward_list object of same type.

Example

The following example shows the usage of std::forward_list::operator= function.

#include <iostream>
#include <forward_list>

using namespace std;

int main(void) {

   forward_list<int> fl1 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
   forward_list<int> fl2;

   fl2 = fl1;

   cout << "List contains following elements" << endl;

   for (auto it = fl2.begin(); it != fl2.end(); ++it)
      cout << *it << endl;

   return 0;
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

List contains following elements
1
2
3
4
