Thread: Can't seem to access the Struct within my vector

Hello, so I am trying to create a small mini program that iterates through a vector and outputs something according to a book. I have no problem understanding the problem, but I came across a problem in which the iterator doesn't access the struct inside the vector. I can't seem to figure out why thought. Logically dereferencing the iterator should give me the struct, then accessing the fields inside the struct should be simple, "(*iter).FIELD". I could be wrong though...

This is the error

Code:

error C2039: 'name' : is not a member of 'std::vector<_Ty>'

This is my code

Code:

int main(){
	typedef vector<Student_info> students;

	students studs;
	Student_info record;
	string::size_type maxlen = 0;

	while(read(cin, record)){

		maxlen = max(maxlen, record.name.size());
		studs.push_back(record);
	}

	sort(studs.begin(), studs.end(), compare);

	for(students::iterator i = studs.begin(); i != studs.end(); ++i){

		cout << (*studs).name << string(maxlen + 1 - (*studs).name.size(), ' ');

		try{
			double final_grade = grade(*studs);
			streamsize prec = cout.precision();
			cout << setprecision(3) << final_grade << setprecision(prec);
		}

		catch(domain_error e){
			cout << e.what();
		}
		cout << endl
	}
	return 0;
}

This is my struct that I have located in another header file.

Code:

typedef std::vector<double> homework;

struct Student_info{
	std::string name;
	double midterm, final;
	homework hw;
};

Your iterator is i, but you're using studs as if IT were the iterator.

Also, although you can use (*i).name

it's usually done

i->name
