Example

The following example shows the usage of std::list::list() constructor.

#include <iostream>
#include <list>

using namespace std;

int main(void) {
   auto it = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
   list<int> l(it);

   cout << "List contains following element" << endl;

   for (auto it = l.begin(); it != l.end(); ++it)
      cout << *it << endl;

   return 0;
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

List contains following element
