Replaces the contents to the path object by a new pathname constructed from the given character sequence.
1) Assigns the pathname identified by the detected-format string 
source, which is left in valid, but unspecified state.2) Assigns the pathname identified by the detected-format character range 
source.3) Assigns the pathname identified by detected-format character range 
[first, last).Parameters
| source | - | a character range to use, represented as std::string, std::string_view, pointer to a null-terminated multibyte string, or as an input iterator with char value type that points to a null-terminated multibyte string | 
| first, last | - | a character range to use | 
| Type requirements | ||
 -InputIt must meet the requirements of LegacyInputIterator.
 | ||
 -The value type of InputIt must be one of the encoded character types (char, wchar_t, char16_t and char32_t)
