<iterator> 
 template< class Container >
std::front_insert_iterator <Container> front_inserter( Container& c );
 
 (constexpr since C++20) 
std::front_insert_iterator <Container> front_inserter( Container& c );
front_inserter is a convenience function template that constructs a std::front_insert_iterator  for the container c with the type deduced from the type of the argument.
[edit] Parameters
 c
 -
 container that supports a 
push_front operation
[edit] Return value
A std::front_insert_iterator which can be used to add elements to the beginning of the container c.
[edit] Possible implementation
template<class Container> std::front_insert_iterator <Container> front_inserter( Container& c ) { return std::front_insert_iterator <Container>(c); }
[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <algorithm> #include <deque> #include <iostream> #include <iterator> #include <vector> int main() { std::vector <int> v{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; std::deque <int> d; std::copy (v.begin(), v.end(), std::front_inserter(d)); for (int n : d) std::cout << n << ' '; std::cout << '\n'; }
Output:
