27.7.1 Copy [alg.copy]

template<class InputIterator, class OutputIterator> constexpr OutputIterator copy(InputIterator first, InputIterator last, OutputIterator result); template<input_iterator I, sentinel_for<I> S, weakly_incrementable O> requires indirectly_copyable<I, O> constexpr ranges::copy_result<I, O> ranges::copy(I first, S last, O result); template<input_range R, weakly_incrementable O> requires indirectly_copyable<iterator_t<R>, O> constexpr ranges::copy_result<borrowed_iterator_t<R>, O> ranges::copy(R&& r, O result);
Let N be last - first.
Preconditions: result is not in the range [first, last).
Effects: Copies elements in the range [first, last) into the range [result, result + N) starting from first and proceeding to last.
For each non-negative integer , performs *(result + n) = *(first + n).
Returns:
  • result + N for the overload in namespace std.
  • {last, result + N} for the overloads in namespace ranges.
Complexity: Exactly N assignments.
template<class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIterator1, class ForwardIterator2> ForwardIterator2 copy(ExecutionPolicy&& policy, ForwardIterator1 first, ForwardIterator1 last, ForwardIterator2 result);
Preconditions: The ranges [first, last) and [result, result + (last - first)) do not overlap.
Effects: Copies elements in the range [first, last) into the range [result, result + (last - first)).
For each non-negative integer n < (last - first), performs *(result + n) = *(first + n).
Returns: result + (last - first).
Complexity: Exactly last - first assignments.
template<class InputIterator, class Size, class OutputIterator> constexpr OutputIterator copy_n(InputIterator first, Size n, OutputIterator result); template<class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIterator1, class Size, class ForwardIterator2> ForwardIterator2 copy_n(ExecutionPolicy&& exec, ForwardIterator1 first, Size n, ForwardIterator2 result); template<input_iterator I, weakly_incrementable O> requires indirectly_copyable<I, O> constexpr ranges::copy_n_result<I, O> ranges::copy_n(I first, iter_difference_t<I> n, O result);
Let N be max(0, n).
Mandates: The type Size is convertible to an integral type ([conv.integral], [class.conv]).
Effects: For each non-negative integer , performs *(result + i) = *(first + i).
Returns:
  • result + N for the overloads in namespace std.
  • {first + N, result + N} for the overload in namespace ranges.
Complexity: Exactly N assignments.
template<class InputIterator, class OutputIterator, class Predicate> constexpr OutputIterator copy_if(InputIterator first, InputIterator last, OutputIterator result, Predicate pred); template<class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIterator1, class ForwardIterator2, class Predicate> ForwardIterator2 copy_if(ExecutionPolicy&& exec, ForwardIterator1 first, ForwardIterator1 last, ForwardIterator2 result, Predicate pred); template<input_iterator I, sentinel_for<I> S, weakly_incrementable O, class Proj = identity, indirect_unary_predicate<projected<I, Proj>> Pred> requires indirectly_copyable<I, O> constexpr ranges::copy_if_result<I, O> ranges::copy_if(I first, S last, O result, Pred pred, Proj proj = {}); template<input_range R, weakly_incrementable O, class Proj = identity, indirect_unary_predicate<projected<iterator_t<R>, Proj>> Pred> requires indirectly_copyable<iterator_t<R>, O> constexpr ranges::copy_if_result<borrowed_iterator_t<R>, O> ranges::copy_if(R&& r, O result, Pred pred, Proj proj = {});
Let E be:
  • bool(pred(*i)) for the overloads in namespace std;
  • bool(invoke(pred, invoke(proj, *i))) for the overloads in namespace ranges,
and N be the number of iterators i in the range [first, last) for which the condition E holds.
Preconditions: The ranges [first, last) and [result, result + (last - first)) do not overlap.
[Note 1: 
For the overload with an ExecutionPolicy, there might be a performance cost if iterator_traits<ForwardIterator1>​::​value_type is not Cpp17MoveConstructible (Table 31).
— end note]
Effects: Copies all of the elements referred to by the iterator i in the range [first, last) for which E is true.
Returns:
  • result + N for the overloads in namespace std.
  • {last, result + N} for the overloads in namespace ranges.
Complexity: Exactly last - first applications of the corresponding predicate and any projection.
Remarks: Stable ([algorithm.stable]).
template<class BidirectionalIterator1, class BidirectionalIterator2> constexpr BidirectionalIterator2 copy_backward(BidirectionalIterator1 first, BidirectionalIterator1 last, BidirectionalIterator2 result); template<bidirectional_iterator I1, sentinel_for<I1> S1, bidirectional_iterator I2> requires indirectly_copyable<I1, I2> constexpr ranges::copy_backward_result<I1, I2> ranges::copy_backward(I1 first, S1 last, I2 result); template<bidirectional_range R, bidirectional_iterator I> requires indirectly_copyable<iterator_t<R>, I> constexpr ranges::copy_backward_result<borrowed_iterator_t<R>, I> ranges::copy_backward(R&& r, I result);
Let N be last - first.
Preconditions: result is not in the range (first, last].
Effects: Copies elements in the range [first, last) into the range [result - N, result) starting from last - 1 and proceeding to first.215
For each positive integer n  ≤ N, performs *(result - n) = *(last - n).
Returns:
  • result - N for the overload in namespace std.
  • {last, result - N} for the overloads in namespace ranges.
Complexity: Exactly N assignments.

copy_backward can be used instead of copy when last is in the range [result - N, result).
