.SH NAME
fill \- assign a given value to all locations in an array
.SH SYNOPSIS OF Array_alg.h
.Bf

    template <class \*(gt>
    void fill(const \*(gt& val,\*(gt* b,\*(gt* e);

.Be
.SH ASSUMPTIONS
.PP
(1) \*(gt has \f4operator=\f1
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Assigns the value \f4val\f1 
to every location in the array.
.SH COMPLEXITY
.PP
If \f2N\f1 is the size of the array,
then complexity is \f2O(N)\f1.
Exactly \f2N\f1 assignments are done.
.SH NOTES
Because a Block (see \f3Block(3C++)\f1)
can always be used wherever an array is called for,
Array Algorithms can also be used with Blocks.
In fact, these two components were actually designed 
to be used together.
