| <P>The <SAMP>copy()</SAMP> algorithm copies values from the range specified by <SAMP>[start</SAMP>, <SAMP>finish)</SAMP> to the range specified by <SAMP>[result, result + (finish - start))</SAMP>. <SAMP>copy()</SAMP> returns <SAMP>result + (finish - start)</SAMP>. For each non-negative integer <SAMP>n < (finish - start)</SAMP>, <SAMP>copy()</SAMP> assigns <SAMP>*(start + n)</SAMP> to <SAMP>*(result + n)</SAMP>. The result of <SAMP>copy()</SAMP> is undefined if <SAMP>result</SAMP> is in the range <SAMP>[start, finish)</SAMP>.</P> |
| <P>Unless <SAMP>result</SAMP> is an insert iterator, <SAMP>copy()</SAMP> assumes that all iterators in the range <SAMP>[result + (finish - start)]</SAMP> are dereferenceable.</P> |
| <P>The <SAMP><A HREF="copy.html">copy_backward()</A></SAMP> algorithm copies elements in the range specified by <SAMP>[start, finish)</SAMP> into the range specified by [<SAMP>result - (finish - start), result)</SAMP>, starting from the end of the sequence (<SAMP>finish-1</SAMP>) and progressing to the front (<SAMP>start</SAMP>). Note that <SAMP>copy_backward()</SAMP> does <I>not </I>reverse the order of the elements, it simply reverses the order of transfer. <SAMP>copy_backward()</SAMP> returns <SAMP>result - (finish - start)</SAMP>. You should use <SAMP>copy_backward()</SAMP> instead of <SAMP>copy()</SAMP> when <SAMP>finish</SAMP> is in the range <SAMP>[result - (finish - start), result)</SAMP>. For each positive integer <SAMP>n <= (finish - start)</SAMP>, <SAMP>copy_backward()</SAMP> assigns <SAMP>*(finish - n)</SAMP> to <SAMP>*(result - n)</SAMP>. The result of <SAMP>copy_backward()</SAMP> is undefined if <SAMP>result</SAMP> is in the range <SAMP>[start, finish)</SAMP>. <SAMP>copy_backward()</SAMP> should be used when <SAMP>finish</SAMP> is in the range <SAMP>[result - (finish - start), result)</SAMP>.</P> |
| <P>Unless <SAMP>result</SAMP> is an insert iterator, <SAMP><A HREF="copy.html">copy_backward()</A></SAMP> assumes that all iterators in the range <SAMP>[result - (finish - start), result)</SAMP> are dereferenceable.</P> |
