Best way to copy a vector to a list in STL?

Question

Is iterating through the vector using an iterator and copying to a list the most optimal method of copying. Any recommendations?

Answer 1

Why would you iterate and not use the standard copy algorithm?

std::copy( vector.begin(), vector.end(), std::back_inserter( list ) ); 

Answer 2

If you're making a new list, you can take advantage of a constructor that takes begin and end iterators:

std::list<SomeType> myList(v.begin(), v.end()); 

Kasprzol's answer is perfect if you have an existing list you want to append to.

Answer 3

list.assign(vector.begin(), vector.end());
