Thread: while does this 2d char array (almost) work in C , but not even close in C++?

I have no idea how it works under the hood. I only know it is now acting like a 1d array because one no longer has to reference both whatever them [ ] <<--- are called.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    vector < string > snackos =
        { " ", "Cracker Jacks","Gummy Bears","Lemon Heads",
        "Skittles","Snickers","Milky Way"};
int count = 1;

for ( ; count < 7 ; count++)
    cout <<snackos[count]<<endl;   
    cout<<"\n"<<snackos[4]<<endl;

    //last line prints out the 5th element starting from  zero,
    // after the loop has ened. 
    //Is it properly placed within the code?
    // Some would say no. But the compiler won't complain about it as
    //much as some humans might.
return 0;
}

that much I know.
