Thread: My array question

to add one record to the vector you can use

Code:

	struct Record
	{
		int index;
		std::string boy;
		std::string girl;
	};

	Record temp ={1,"Henry", "Wilma"};

	std::vector<Record> list;
	list.push_back(temp);

	std::cout << list[0].index << " " << list[0].boy << " " << list[0].girl << std::endl;

Is there a way to not use a vector and use an array?

yes there is

Im way to new to programming and i really dont understand vectors.

that's why you should go with vector - there is a lot more ways to screw up with arrays, vector does all memory menagement for you

I have shown a sample how you add value to vector
to access element - there is no differens from array

Code:

	std::vector<int> arr;
	arr.push_back(1);
	arr.push_back(2);
	arr.push_back(3);

	for(std::vector<int>::size_type i = 0; i < arr.size(); i++)
	{
		std::cout << arr[i] << std::endl;
	}

Code:

std::vector<int> arr; //declare a vector of ints
	arr.push_back(1); // add 1 to the vector's end
	arr.push_back(2); // add 2 to the vector's end
	arr.push_back(3); // add 3 to the vector's end

	std::vector<int>::size_type i; // declare the index var to be of type returned by size() function

	//size() function shows number of elements contained in the vector
	for(i = 0; i < arr.size(); i++) // loop through all vector's elements
	{
		std::cout << arr[i] << std::endl; // print current element
	}

	//same loop could be done using iterators - search forum for samples
