Is there a compact equivalent to Python range() in C++/STL

Question

How can I do the equivalent of the following using C++/STL? I want to fill a std::vector with a range of values [min, max).

# Python
>>> x = range(0, 10)
>>> x
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

I suppose I could use std::generate_n and provide a functor to generate the sequence, but I was wondering if there is a more succinct way of doing this using STL?

Answer 1

In C++11, there's std::iota:

#include <vector>
#include <numeric> //std::iota

std::vector<int> x(10);
std::iota(std::begin(x), std::end(x), 0); //0 is the starting number
