Last week I was goofing around with multidimensional vectors and removing an element from each row. I got my code to remove and element from each row working inside int main, but when I put all this code inside of a function I started to get errors. The common error that I am getting is
main.cpp:83: error: conversion from ‘__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<std::vector<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, std::allocator<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > > >*, std::vector<std::vector<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, std::allocator<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > > >, std::allocator<std::vector<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, std::allocator<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > > > > > >’ to non-scalar type ‘__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >*, std::vector<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, std::allocator<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > > > >’ requested

not really sure why I am getting this error. Not that great with pointers and kind of understand them to a point for a non computer sci major. Why would I be getting this error and how can I correct it. Below is my code
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
void removeElement(std::vector<std::vector<std::string> > &Mat, std::string El);
int main() {
std::vector<std::vector<std::string> > voteMat;
std::vector<std::string> chairRank;
std::string temp;
int NC,NV;
// NC -> number of candidates
// NV -> number of voters
std::cin >> NV >> NC;
// Parse in the chairman's ranking vector
for(unsigned x=0; x<4 && !std::cin.eof(); ++x) {
std::cin >> temp;
chairRank.push_back(temp);
}
// Parse in the Voters Ranking vectors into the matrix
for(int x=0; x<NV && !std::cin.eof(); ++x) {
std::vector<std::string> row;
for(int y=0; y<NC; ++y) {
std::cin >> temp;
row.push_back(temp);
}
voteMat.push_back(row);
row.clear();
}
std::cout << "Done parsing input\n\n";
std::cout << "Voter's Matrix\n\n";
// Print the voters ranking matrix
std::vector<std::vector<std::string> >::iterator ITx = voteMat.begin();
for(; ITx<voteMat.end(); ++ITx) {
std::vector<std::string>::iterator ITy = ITx->begin();
for(; ITy<ITx->end(); ++ITy) {
std::cout << *ITy << " ";
}
std::cout << std::endl;
}
std::cout << std::endl;
std::cout << "Removing Chicago from Matrix\n\n";
// Remove Chicago from each row vector in the matrix
// ITx = voteMat.begin();
// for(; ITx<voteMat.end(); ++ITx) {
// std::vector<std::string>::iterator ITy = ITx->begin();
// for(; ITy<ITx->end(); ++ITy) {
// if(*ITy == "chicago") {
// ITx->erase(ITy);
// }
// }
// }
removeElement(voteMat,"chicago");
// Print the voters ranking matrix
std::cout << "Printing Matrix without Chicago\n";
ITx = voteMat.begin();
for(; ITx<voteMat.end(); ++ITx) {
std::vector<std::string>::iterator ITy = ITx->begin();
for(; ITy<ITx->end(); ++ITy) {
std::cout << *ITy << " ";
}
std::cout << std::endl;
}
std::cout << std::endl;
return 0;
}
void removeElement(std::vector<std::vector<std::string> > &Mat, std::string El) {
std::vector<std::string>::iterator ITx = Mat.begin();
for(; ITx<Mat.end(); ++ITx) {
std::vector<std::string>::iterator ITy = ITx->begin();
for(; ITy<ITx->end(); ++ITy) {
if(*ITy == El) {
ITx->erase(ITy);
}
}
}
}this is the input I am using on the standard input "./a.out < input.txt"
