流迭代器

當我們需要從容器中讀取序列或列印格式化資料時，流迭代器非常有用：

// Data stream. Any number of various whitespace characters will be OK.
std::istringstream istr("1\t 2     3 4");
std::vector<int> v;

// Constructing stream iterators and copying data from stream into vector.
std::copy(
    // Iterator which will read stream data as integers.
    std::istream_iterator<int>(istr),
    // Default constructor produces end-of-stream iterator.
    std::istream_iterator<int>(),
    std::back_inserter(v));

// Print vector contents.
std::copy(v.begin(), v.end(),
    //Will print values to standard output as integers delimeted by " -- ".
    std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " -- "));

示例程式將 1 -- 2 -- 3 -- 4 -- 列印到標準輸出。
