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.

 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 | ||
| - InputItmust meet the requirements of LegacyInputIterator. | ||
| -The value type of InputItmust be one of the encoded character types (char,wchar_t,char16_tandchar32_t) | ||
