Hi,
If i have a pointer to a vector what is the correct syntax to access an element of the vector?
For example:
As expected this obviously fails, but whats the correct syntax for accessing an element at a position inside a vector?Code:void myfunc(std::vector<std::string> *p) { ... my_str = p[i]->mystring; ... }
Thanks for any help,
Jack

foo->bar is just shorthand for (*foo).bar. If p was a vector, you would either use p[i] or p.at(i) to reference. Since p is now a pointer, *p is a vector, so (*p)[i] or (*p).at(i). This last you could write as p->at(i).
Thanks alot
