can anyone help me convert this code from array to Vector?
I need this in it

can anyone help me convert this code from array to Vector?

I will help you.

  1. Instead of declaring an array, declare a vector.
  2. Anytime you want to add to the vector, call the push_back() member:
    myvector.push_back(input);
  3. Anytime you want to get stuff from the vector, you can use subscripts to access a specific array element:
    cout << myvector[i];
  4. You can get the size of the vector easily by calling the size() member:
    for(int i=0, size=myvector.size(); i<size; i++)
cout << myvector[i];

Isn't this an array? because of the

I'm still kinda confused, maybe you can give some examples using my code above. I'll probably understand it more that way. Thanks!

You will actually understand it less when you are spoon fed the code.

You seem like an intelligent individual.. why not give it a try? What's the worst that could happen..??

Being the astute CS student that I know you are, I'm sure you've studied the vector class and found out that it is based on the array datastructure:

Vector
Vectors are a kind of sequence containers. As such, their elements are ordered following a strict linear sequence.

Vector containers are implemented as dynamic arrays; Just as regular arrays, vector containers have their elements stored in contiguous storage locations, which means that their elements can be accessed not only using iterators but also using offsets on regular pointers to elements.

But unlike regular arrays, storage in vectors is handled automatically, allowing it to be expanded and contracted as needed.

Vectors are good at:

* Accessing individual elements by their position index (constant time).
* Iterating over the elements in any order (linear time).
* Add and remove elements from its end (constant amortized time).

So, to answer your question.. yes, the subscript operator is overloaded for the vector object, giving it array-like capability.
