.emplace_back() c++ code example

Example 1: emplace_back vector c++

#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <cassert>
#include <iostream>
 
struct President
{
    std::string name;
    std::string country;
    int year;
 
    President(std::string p_name, std::string p_country, int p_year)
        : name(std::move(p_name)), country(std::move(p_country)), year(p_year)
    {
        std::cout << "I am being constructed.\n";
    }
    President(President&& other)
        : name(std::move(other.name)), country(std::move(other.country)), year(other.year)
    {
        std::cout << "I am being moved.\n";
    }
    President& operator=(const President& other) = default;
};
 
int main()
{
    std::vector<President> elections;
    std::cout << "emplace_back:\n";
    auto& ref = elections.emplace_back("Nelson Mandela", "South Africa", 1994);
    assert(ref.year != 1984 && "uses a reference to the created object (C++17)");
 
    std::vector<President> reElections;
    std::cout << "\npush_back:\n";
    reElections.push_back(President("Franklin Delano Roosevelt", "the USA", 1936));
 
    std::cout << "\nContents:\n";
    for (President const& president: elections) {
        std::cout << president.name << " was elected president of "
                  << president.country << " in " << president.year << ".\n";
    }
    for (President const& president: reElections) {
        std::cout << president.name << " was re-elected president of "
                  << president.country << " in " << president.year << ".\n";
    }
}

Example 2: what does emplace_back back return in c++

// vector::emplace_back
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

int main ()
{
  std::vector<int> myvector = {10,20,30};

  myvector.emplace_back (100);
  myvector.emplace_back (200);

  std::cout << "myvector contains:";
  for (auto& x: myvector)
    std::cout << ' ' << x;
  std::cout << '\n';

  return 0;
