std::vector::push_back

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | container‎ | vector

void push_back( const T& value );
(1)
void push_back( T&& value );
(2) (since C++11)

Appends the given element value to the end of the container.

1) The new element is initialized as a copy of value.
2) value is moved into the new element.

If the new size() is greater than capacity() then all iterators and references (including the past-the-end iterator) are invalidated. Otherwise only the past-the-end iterator is invalidated.

[edit] Parameters

value - the value of the element to append
Type requirements
-
T must meet the requirements of CopyInsertable in order to use overload (1).
-
T must meet the requirements of MoveInsertable in order to use overload (2).

[edit] Return value

(none)

[edit] Complexity

Amortized constant.

[edit] Exceptions

If an exception is thrown, this function has no effect (strong exception guarantee).

If T's move constructor is not noexcept and T is not CopyInsertable into *this, vector will use the throwing move constructor. If it throws, the guarantee is waived and the effects are unspecified. (since C++11)

[edit] Example

The following code uses push_back to add several integers to a std::vector<int>:

#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    std::vector<int> numbers;
 
    numbers.push_back(42);
    numbers.push_back(314159); 
 
    for (int i : numbers) { // c++11 range-based for loop
        std::cout << i << '\n';
    } 
 
    return 0;
}

Output:

42
314159
