Vector compared to a string error message std::vector<std::basic_string<char> >) (uns

[Adaptron]

Hello everyone,
I am getting this error
std::vector<std::basic_string<char> >) (unsigned int&)'|
and cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. There might be more mistakes but cannot pass this error message so I couldn't test anything yet.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <vector>


using namespace std;


int main()
{
    // Create an input file
    ifstream inputFile;
    inputFile.open("WorldSeriesWinners.txt");


    // Check if the files exists or not,
    if(!inputFile){
        cout << "File couldn't be found!" << endl;
        return 0;
    }


    // Read the contents of the file into a vector
    vector<string> worldSeries;
    string input;
    while(inputFile >> input)
    {


        worldSeries.push_back(input);
    }


    // Close the file
    inputFile.close();


    // Get a team name from the user
    string userTeam;
    cout << "Enter a team name that you would like to check for: " << endl;
    getline(cin, userTeam);
    int wins = 0;   // Accumulator
    string quantity;
    // Find how many times user's team won the series for
    for(unsigned int index = 0; index < worldSeries.size(); index++)
    {
        if(worldSeries(index) == userTeam) // Error is here!!!
        {
            wins++;
        }
    }


    // Display the results
    cout << userTeam << " won the series for " << wins << (wins > 0 ? " times." : " time.");


}

Thanks for reading.

Cannot believe I asked this questions. Sorry for wasting your time.
Used parentheses instead of brackets. It's getting late.

Wrong operator, i.e., worldSeries(index) should have been worldSeries[index]

Alternatively, #include <algorithm> and write:

int wins = std::count(worldSeries.begin(), worldSeries.end(), userTeam);

If you are compiling with respect to C++11 or later, then another alternative:

// Find how many times user's team won the series for
for (const auto& team : worldSeries)
{
    if (team == userTeam)
    {
        ++wins;
    }
}

Thank you for sharing.
How did you tag your code so that it shows the line numbers?

I posted my code without any special markup as text in [code][/code] bbcode tags. If you copy your code such that it has some special bbcode markup, this may interfere with the forum plugin's automatic syntax highlighting and line numbering.
