std::ostream_iterator<T,CharT,Traits>::ostream_iterator

ostream_iterator( ostream_type& stream, const CharT* delim );	(1)
ostream_iterator( ostream_type& stream );	(2)

1) Constructs the iterator with stream as the associated stream and delim as the delimiter.

2) Constructs the iterator with stream as the associated stream and a null pointer as the delimiter.

Parameters

stream	-	the output stream to be accessed by this iterator
delim	-	the null-terminated character string to be inserted into the stream after each output

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <algorithm>
#include <numeric>
int main()
{
    std::ostream_iterator<char> oo {std::cout};
    std::ostream_iterator<int> i1 {std::cout, ", "};
    std::fill_n(i1, 5, -1);
    *oo++ = '\n';
 
    std::ostream_iterator<double> i2 {std::cout, "; "};
    *i2++ = 3.14;
    *i2++ = 2.71;
    *oo++ = '\n';
 
    std::common_iterator<std::counted_iterator<std::ostream_iterator<float>>,
                         std::default_sentinel_t>
        first { std::counted_iterator{std::ostream_iterator<float>{std::cout," ~ "}, 5} },
        last { std::default_sentinel };
    std::iota(first, last, 2.2);
    *oo++ = '\n';
}

Output:

-1, -1, -1, -1, -1,
3.14; 2.71;
2.2 ~ 3.2 ~ 4.2 ~ 5.2 ~ 6.2 ~
