Vector class

Ok maybe this time I'll actually post to the right board.

Is there a STL method which will return a random element from a vector? Its easy enough to write such a method, but I was just wondering if one exists already. I've searched on google to no avail.
Thanks.

The whole point of a vector is to have sequential predictable access in O(1).

If you want random access to a member you can always do:

std::vector v;

...

v[(int)(rand()*v.size())]

...

or similar depending how random you want it (rand is not new random as you know

what is STL?
