Passing Vector<string>

How do I get this to work?

I have a Vector<string> maze; which is passed on to this function:

Code:

---

void load( Vector<string> maze)
{
    height_ = maze.size();
    if(height_ == 0) return;
    width_ = maze.get(0).length(); 
    if( width_ == 0 ) return;
   
    maze_= new int[height_][width_];
    for(int i=0; i < height_; i++)

    {

        for( int j=0 ; j < width_ ; j++ )

        {

            maze_[i][j] = maze.get(i).charAt(j) - '0';

        }

    }
}

---

but my compiler says:

maze.cpp:287: error: variable or field ‘load’ declared void
maze.cpp:287: error: ‘Vector’ was not declared in this scope
maze.cpp:287: error: expected primary-expression before ‘>’ token
maze.cpp:287: error: ‘maze’ was not declared in this scope

What is "Vector"? The standard library class that works like an array is called "vector" with a lower-case 'v'. Case matters in C++. If that's what you're using also make sure you #include<vector> and #include <string>.

If Vector is different from std::vector, then make sure you #include the header file that declares that class.

You should also accept the vector by reference:

Code:

---

void load(std::vector<string> &maze)

---

And as it seems to be readonly, make it a const reference.
