ostream_iterator< T >& operator=( const T& value )

Writes value together with the iterator's trailer to the associated stream.

ostream_iterator< T >& operator *()

Returns a reference to the iterator.

ostream_iterator< T >& operator++()

Returns a reference to the iterator.

ostream_iterator< T > operator++( int )

Returns a copy of the iterator.

main()
  {
  char* string = "hello";

  ostream_iterator< char > it1( cout );
  copy( string, string + 5, it1 );
  cout << "\n";

  ostream_iterator< int > it2( cout );
  copy( array, array + 4, it2 );
  cout << "\n";
