算法目的用发生器对容器进行填充
template<typename ForwardIterator, typename Generator>
void   generate(ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last, Generator gen){
                for ( ; first != last; ++first)
                          *first = gen();
}
算法目的用发生器对容器从first开始进行填充n次
template<typename   OutputIterator, typename  
Size, typename Generator>
OutputIterator   generate_n(OutputIterator first, Size n, Generator gen) {
                             for ( ; n > 0; --n, ++first)
                                   *first = gen();
                             return first;
}
当然为了使用这两个算法,你还要写一个发生器.随便举个例子:
struct Gen{
     int operator()(){
           return rand();//产生随机数的函数
     }
};
