[#bsl-list-054-assign-081] = xref:bsl.adoc[bsl]::xref:bsl/list-054.adoc[list]::assign :relfileprefix: ../../ :mrdocs: Assign to this list, in order, the sequence of values in the specified `values` initializer list. This method requires that the (template parameter) type `VALUE` be `copy‐assignable` and `copy‐insertable` into this list. Note that, to the extent possible, existing elements of this list are copy‐assigned to, to minimize the number of nodes that need to be copy‐inserted or erased. == Synopsis Declared in `<bslstl_list.h>` [source,cpp,subs="verbatim,replacements,macros,-callouts"] ---- void assign(std::initializer_list<value_type> values); ---- [.small]#Created with https://www.mrdocs.com[MrDocs]#
