These assignment operators have reference semantics, assigning the values
of the argument array elements to selected elements of thevalarray<T> object to which it refers[.](#1.sentence-1)

If theindirect_array specifies an element in thevalarray<T> object to which it refers more than once, the behavior is undefined[.](#2.sentence-1)

[*Example [1](#example-1)*:

int addr[] = {2, 3, 1, 4, 4};
valarray<size_t> indirect(addr, 5);
valarray<double> a(0., 10), b(1., 5);
a[indirect] = b; results in undefined behavior since element 4 is specified twice in the
indirection[.](#3.sentence-1)
