    Vector element to char*

    Is there a simpler method?

    Code:
            vector<string> Size;
            char *s = strdup(Size[i].c_str());
            long long num = _strtoi64(s, NULL, 10);
    Using Windows 10 with Code Blocks and MingW.

    If your standard library implementation conforms sufficiently to C++11, you could write:
    Code:
    vector<string> Size;
    // ...
    long long num = stoll(Size[i]);

If they do, I ask them to find the smallest example that exhibits the problem and send me that. Mostly, they then find the error themselves. "Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    You don't need char* in the first place. _strtoi64 (which is bad function to use, btw) takes a const char*, because it doesn't change its parameters. Therefore, simply calling c_str() should suffice.
    Also, to duplicate a string, all you need is to simply declare another string and assign the old one to it.
