Thread: Vector elements disappearing

I have a void function with a vector as an argument. The function fills the vector, but I want to use this vector as the argument in a second function. When I try to use it in the second function, the vector is empty.

For example:

Code:

void Class :: Function1 (vector<double> v)
{
//Fill Vector
}
void Class :: Function2 (vector <double> v)
{
//Multiplies vector elements with a constant
}

It was all working fine, but I had to drastically alter my code and that's when this problem appeared. I've been searching for a solution using google and seen some suggestions to return the vector from the function or use pointers. I'm struggling to implement either of those ideas!

Any help appreciated,
Thanks a lot!

Dear God... I had ampersands and asterisks in every possible combination just trying to make it work.

Thanks for that, problem solved!

Ah, just one more thing. How does that work when it comes to calling the function?

I've created an instance of the class and called function1 then function2, hoping to end up with a vector filled with the elements set in function2. However, I get the vector back filled with the contents set in function1.

For example:

Code:

vector<double> NewVec;

Class Instance;

Instance.function1(NewVec);
Instance.function2(NewVec);

The result is as if it doesn't go through function2.

Again, any tips are appreciated.
Thanks again!

Code:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	vector<double> vel;

	FBel Test;

	Test.WSpee(vel);
	Test.WSPro(vel);
}

I'm guessing the problem is with how I am calling the functions. I've tested the outputs from within the functions themselves and they are all correct. The problem only occurs when I try to call from the main.

Got it sorted, thanks again bit hub.
