Thread: STL: element-wise addition of the contents of two containers

Aloha-

Is there an algorithm/function in the STL that will allow elementwise addition of two vectors/deques/etc.? In other words, given two vectors x and y, is there an operator that will return z such that

z.at( i ) == x.at( i ) + y.at( i ) ?

I have computed results using for loops and iterators, but am curious if there is functionality already built into the STL to do this (presumably) basic function.

Many thanks
