Hello there;
I am new to object oriented programming need to use vectors. basically I have data from CSV file and I stored it in a vector. I need to partition this vector to n vectors and I need it to be dynamic.
I started using class in order to create vector of dynamic objects ( ihope it is right) but I am confuse how can I use vector.

cluster.h

using namespace std;

class Cluster
{

private:
	static int thershold;
	vector <int> v;	//will store cluster of values each time called
	int centre;		//centre of gravity to a cluster

	//vector <vector <int> > m;//define array of vectors 

public:
	Cluster(){ }
	//~Cluster();*/
	void getdata(vector<int> &TKoffice);//get from m1 first  //friend 
	void putdata();
	bool add_member(int point);
		
};

#endif	// __Cluster_H

Cluster.cpp

#include "Cluster.h"
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

//define static data **** without writing static in the begining
int Cluster::thershold=30;

bool Cluster::add_member(int point)
{
	if (v.size() == 0)
	{
		v.push_back(point);
		centre=point;
		return true;
	}
	else if (abs(point-centre)<= Cluster::thershold) //if <= 30min
	{
		v.push_back(point);
		for (int i=0; i<v.size(); i++)
		{
			//compute the new centre
			//calculate the average
			//and update the centre value
			//return true?
		}
	}
	else
		return false;
}



void Cluster::putdata()// is it right ??

every time I have to pass value from vector m1 to the add_member function to check whether this value will be store in the same vector or a new vector until I get n vector (cluster).

Many Thanks

Could anybody explain how can i used vector of pointers to the Cluster class to divide a vector (m1)into unknown number of vectors? how can I create new vector each time I need and save the required data from the original vector(m1)

vector <Cluster *> Clusters; 
Cluster *C=new Cluster(); //pointer to new object


for( i1=0;i1<m1.size();i1++)
{

    value=C->add_member(m1[i1]);
    Clusters.push_back(C);          
    if (value ==false)
    {   
        //create new vector to get the point in it
        /*C->add_member(m1[i1]);*/
        Clusters.push_back(new Cluster());//point
        //Clusters.push_back(&m1[i1]);


    }
