insert

  #include <deque>
  iterator insert( iterator loc, const TYPE& val );
  void insert( iterator loc, size_type num, const TYPE& val );
  template<TYPE> void insert( iterator loc, input_iterator start, input_iterator end );

The insert() function either:

• inserts val before loc, returning an iterator to the element inserted,
• inserts num copies of val before loc, or
• inserts the elements from start to end before loc.

For example:

 // Create a vector, load it with the first 10 characters of the alphabet
 vector<char> alphaVector;
 for( int i=0; i < 10; i++ ) {
   alphaVector.push_back( i + 65 );
 }              

 // Insert four C's into the vector
 vector<char>::iterator theIterator = alphaVector.begin();
 alphaVector.insert( theIterator, 4, 'C' );             

 // Display the vector
 for( theIterator = alphaVector.begin(); theIterator != alphaVector.end(); theIterator++ )    {
   cout << *theIterator;
 }              

This code would display:
