void resize( size_type count );	(1)	(constexpr since C++26)
void resize( size_type count, const value_type& value );	(2)	(constexpr since C++26)

Resizes the container to contain count elements:

• If count is equal to the current size, does nothing.
• If the current size is greater than count, the container is reduced to its first count elements.
• If the current size is less than count, then:

1) Additional copies of T()(until C++11)default-inserted elements(since C++11) are appended.

2) Additional copies of value are appended.

Parameters

count	-	new size of the container
value	-	the value to initialize the new elements with
Type requirements
- If the following condition is satisfied, the behavior is undefined: 1) T is not DefaultInsertable into list. 2) T is not CopyInsertable into list. (since C++11)

Complexity

Linear in the difference between the current size and count.

Notes

If value-initialization in overload (1) is undesirable, for example, if the elements are of non-class type and zeroing out is not needed, it can be avoided by providing a custom Allocator::construct.

Example

Run this code

#include <list>
#include <iostream>
 
void print(auto rem, const std::list<int>& c)
{
    for (std::cout << rem; const int el : c)
        std::cout << el << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
}
 
int main()
{
    std::list<int> c = {1, 2, 3};
    print("The list holds: ", c);
 
    c.resize(5);
    print("After resize up to 5: ", c);
 
    c.resize(2);
    print("After resize down to 2: ", c);
 
    c.resize(6, 4);
    print("After resize up to 6 (initializer = 4): ", c);
}

Output:

The list holds: 1 2 3
After resize up to 5: 1 2 3 0 0
After resize down to 2: 1 2
After resize up to 6 (initializer = 4): 1 2 4 4 4 4

Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR	Applied to	Behavior as published	Correct behavior
LWG 132	C++98	random-access iterators were used to determine the erase range	use bidirectional iterators
LWG 679	C++98	resize() passed value by value	passes by const reference
LWG 1420	C++98	the behavior of resize(size()) was not specified	specified

max_size	returns the maximum possible number of elements (public member function)
size	returns the number of elements (public member function)
empty	checks whether the container is empty (public member function)
