| <P>A value-generator function returns a value each time it is invoked.

The function <SAMP>gen()</SAMP> takes no arguments. (<SAMP>gen()</SAMP> can be a function or a class with an <SAMP>operator()</SAMP> defined that takes no arguments.)</P> |
| <P><SAMP><A HREF="generate.html">generate_n()</A></SAMP> assumes that all iterators in the range <SAMP>[start, start + n]</SAMP> are dereferenceable, unless <SAMP>start</SAMP> is an insert iterator.</P> |
