template < container-compatible-range < CharT > R >
constexpr std:: basic_string & assign_range ( R && rg ) ;
(since C++23)

Replaces the contents of the string with the values in the range rg .

Equivalent to

return assign(
    std::basic_string(
        std::from_range,
        std​::​forward<R>(rg),
        get_allocator())
);

Parameters

rg - a container compatible range

Return value

* this

Complexity

Linear in size of rg .

Exceptions

If the operation would result in size ( ) > max_size ( ) , throws std::length_error .

If an exception is thrown for any reason, this function has no effect ( strong exception safety guarantee ).

Notes

Feature-test macro Value Std Feature
__cpp_lib_containers_ranges 202202L (C++23) member functions that accept container compatible range

Example

#include <cassert>
#include <string>
 
int main()
{
    const auto source = {'s', 'o', 'u', 'r', 'c', 'e'};
    std::string destination{"destination"};
 
#ifdef __cpp_lib_containers_ranges
    destination.assign_range(source);
#else
    destination.assign(source.begin(), source.end());
#endif
 
    assert(destination == "source");
}
