### Key Facts

Gyroscopic Couple: The rate of change of angular momentum () = (In the limit).
• = Moment of Inertia.
• = Angular velocity
• = Angular velocity of precession.

Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) was a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer and Catholic philosopher.

Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) was a pioneering Swiss mathematician and physicist.

## Definition

The generate() algorithm is defined in the standard header <algorithm> and in the nonstandard backward-compatibility header <algo.h>.

## Interface

#include <algorithm>
template < class ForwardIterator, class Generator >
void generate(
ForwardIterator first,
ForwardIterator last,
Generator gen
);

Parameters:
Parameter Description
first A forward iterator addressing the position of the first element in the range to which values are to be assigned
last A forward iterator addressing the position one past the final element in the range to which values are to be assigned
gen A function object that is called with no arguments that is used to generate the values to be assigned to each of the elements in the range

## Description

Generate algorithm uses a generator to generate each element of a range.

None.

## Complexity

The complexity is linear with last - first invocations of gen.

Problem
This program illustrates the use of the STL generate() algorithm to fill a range of values in a vector of integers with values generated by the rand() function from <cstdlib>.
Workings
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
vector<int> v(10);
cout <<"\nHere are the initial contents of v:\n";
for (vector<int>::size_type i=0; i<v.size(); i++)
cout <<v.at(i)<<" ";

cout <<"\nNow we fill v with randomly generated integer values.";
generate(v.begin(), v.end(), rand);
cout <<"\nHere are the revised contents of v:\n";
for (vector<int>::size_type i=0; i<v.size(); i++)
cout <<v.at(i)<<" ";

cout <<"\nFinally, we fill the last half of v with new randomly generated integer values.";
generate(v.begin()+5, v.end(), rand);
cout <<"\nHere are the revised contents of v:\n";
for (vector<int>::size_type i=0; i<v.size(); i++)
cout <<v.at(i)<<" ";

return 0;
}
Solution
Output:

Here are the initial contents of v:
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Now we fill v with randomly generated integer values.
Here are the revised contents of v:
41 18467 6334 26500 19169 15724 11478 29358 26962 24464

Finally, we fill the last half of v with new randomly generated integer values.
Here are the revised contents of v:
41 18467 6334 26500 19169 5705 28145 23281 16827 9961
