std::slice_array::operator=(3)

NAME
std::slice_array::operator= - std::slice_array::operator=

Synopsis
   void operator=( const T& value ) const; (1)
   void operator=( const std::valarray<T>& val_arr ) const; (2)
   const slice_array& operator=( const slice_array& other_arr ) const; (3)
   Assigns values to all referred elements.
   1) Assigns value to all of the elements.
   2) Assigns the elements of val_arr to the referred to elements of *this.
   3) Assigns the selected elements from other_arr to the referred to elements of
   *this.

Parameters
   value - a value to assign to all of the referred elements
   val_arr - std::valarray to assign
   other_arr - std::slice_array to assign

Return value
   1,2) (none)
   3) *this

Example
// Run this code
 #include <iostream>
 #include <valarray>
 void print(char const* remark, std::valarray<int> const& v = {})
 {
     std::cout << remark;
     if (v.size() != 0)
     {
         std::cout << ':';
         for (int e : v)
             std::cout << ' ' << e;
     }
     std::cout << '\n';
 }
 int main()
 {
     std::valarray<int> v1{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8};
     std::slice_array<int> s1 = v1[std::slice(1, 4, 2)];
     print("v1", v1);
     print("s1", s1);
     print("\n(1) operator=( const T& )");
     print("s1 = 42");
     s1 = 42; // (1)
     print("s1", s1);
     print("v1", v1);
     print("\n(2) operator=( const std::valarray<T>& )");
     std::valarray<int> v2{10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15};
     print("v2", v2);
     print("s1 = v2");
     s1 = v2; // (2)
     print("s1", s1);
     print("v1", v1);
     print("\n(3) operator=( const slice_array& )");
     v1 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8};
     std::slice_array<int> s2 = v1[std::slice(0, 4, 1)];
     std::slice_array<int> s3 = v2[std::slice(1, 4, 1)];
     print("v1", v1);
     print("v2", v2);
     print("s2", s2);
     print("s3", s3);
     print("s2 = s3");
     s2 = s3; // (3) Note: LHS and RHS must have same size.
     print("s2", s2);
     print("v1", v1);
 }

Output:
 v1: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
 s1: 2 4 6 8
 (1) operator=( const T& )
 s1 = 42
 s1: 42 42 42 42

 (2) operator=( const std::valarray<T>& )
 v2: 10 11 12 13 14 15
 s1 = v2
 s1: 10 11 12 13
 v1: 1 10 3 11 5 12 7 13
 (3) operator=( const slice_array& )
 v1: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
 v2: 10 11 12 13 14 15
 s2: 1 2 3 4
 s3: 11 12 13 14
 s2 = s3
